August is HOT but so is the fishing!! Bass are predictable on hot days and become very easy to catch. We're going to show you the best baits, and where to fish them so you can consistently catch fish throughout the month!
Heat is your friend! We've already done several videos talking about how bass position in the heat and how to predict their movements. Once you understand that positioning, all you need to do is fish these key lures with confidence. Summer fishing can be amazing and this is your year!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. We've listed them in the order they appear in the video and have included all the rigging components needed to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Honestly Matt ive been with the channel for more than 6 years and I wouldnt be able to describe in a single comment how much value ive received from you guys. Not only have i loaded my arsenal with great gear and have knowledge to use them, I started a custom painting hardbait business I do fulltime. Any area of my fishing life can be enriched by each and every video. Thanks alot on behalf of every viewer here🙏🏼

Big worms, big swimbaits, & frogs is hard to beat for me. Past 5 weeks I've caught more monsters than I ever have years combined. Largest being 9lb 3oz 26" long 16.5 girth. Next 3 were a 8lb 6oz, a 7lb 8oz, & 5lb 8oz! Been an unbelievable summer for me. Trying really really hard to break that double digit this year! Hopefully I'm successful

Fishing shade pockets & offshore grass & structure like sunken trees. Caught another 6lber yesterday few other small ones. Had a bigger monster jump off also. It was 8+

@maxcole3930 Жыл бұрын

When I say big worms & swimbaits. I'm referring to 10+ inch worms & 8 inch + swimbaits soft boot & wedge taisl or hard glide baits. Big swimbaits has definitely produced most my big fish. I think fishing from my kayak is also a advantage because I'm more stealthy, quiet, less presence in water as a big boat or pound aluminum boats. The big girls are smart & hard to trick!!!

I’ve loved fishing top water early in the mornings all summer. In my opinion you just can’t beat a top water bite. It’s so nice to watch the fish just demolish it

A tip I learned from my grandpa when dropshotting trick worms is to break off a piece of tooth pick and shove it in the tail end of the worm to also add buoyancy. Works great in Texas. Also, don’t be afraid to keep a Texas rig tied in as he said. Creature baits still work in the dog days of summer

@stoneysdead689 Жыл бұрын

This time of year, I like to go to the smaller rivers and creeks where there's plenty of current and the water stays cooler and holds more oxygen. The bass act more like spring than the dog days of summer- and the current makes it easier to see where they're going to set up at. Anywhere there's a current break- something sticking out into the river that blocks the current or even a good-sized rock with a still spot right behind it, anywhere there's a curve in the river the current will wash away the bank on the outside until it hits rock- then it makes a vertical rock wall with a deeper pool right in front of it- they love these spots. And really- since you throw against the current and retrieve with it- it takes your bait right to them. They'll set up where the current delivers food to them- so just let the current take your bait and it will deliver it right to the bass. I reel just fast enough to keep the slack out of my line and keep my lure turned the right way and up off bottom- that's it. They hit it hard to- like they're trying to kill it.
