If you don’t know where to look, Summer can be overwhelming. The bass have separated into two distinct schools. The first goes shallow into cover and the second heads out to main lake structures. The shallow fish are fun because you can target them with a variety of power fishing techniques, our favorite are frogging and flipping. The fish on outside structures group up around current when available and hard bottom when the water is calm. These fish can be caught on wobble heads, crankbaits, worms, jigs, and a variety of other lures.
Below you’ll find links to our other in-depth videos on the subject, as well as the key baits we fish with this time of year. We’ve also included details on size and color for each lure, as well as some great budget-friendly rod and reel combos for fishing these baits affectively.
