Don't Make These Summer Fishing Mistakes! (And How To Catch Fish On Hot Days)

Don't make these mistakes! Summer bass fishing is tough enough without being your own worst enemy. If you can avoid these 5 common fishing mistakes, you will absolutely catch more fish this Summer!

Summer fishing success is in the details. Paying close attention to conditions and timing is the difference between a great day on the water and just catching a sun burn. Here are Tim's top 5 mistakes he recommends you change as soon as possible.

1) Timing – Best Bites Happen Midday
2) Not All Shade Is Created Equal – Find Shade Near Structure
3) Not All Docks Are The Same – Biggest/Darkest Shade Is Key
4) Throw Reaction But Don't Forget Finesse
5) Night Fishing – Fish Later For More Success

Below you'll find links to our favorite Summer baits. We've included them as recommendations to help you be more successful as you strive to avoid these mistakes. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can find detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
