A lot of anglers give up in Summer because of the heat but they have no idea what they’re missing! The weather may be hot but so is the bite! Today, Matt catches fish all day long, even in the heat, and then dials in a bigger swimbait bite as the sun begins to set. You can have a ton of fun on the water in the heat of Summer if you’re willing to rig up a few extra rods and listen to what the conditions are calling for.
Below you’ll find links to the baits Matt caught his fish on, as well as a few of the other junk fishing baits he had rigged up and ready to adapt with if conditions changed. We’ve also linked his key combos, including his BFS setup, his topwater combo, and his favorite line-thru swimbait rod!
All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
