Where Do Bass Go In Summer?! (And The Tricks That Catch Them)

Summer fishing is amazing when you know where to fish! As temperatures rise, bass follow predictable patterns. Once you know where to find the bass, catching them is easy! Even when Summer temperatures are at their highest, bass behavior can be predicted and you can keep catching fish consistently.

For those that don't know where to look, Summer bass fishing is tough. Here's what you need to know... Since the spawn, the bass have separated into two distinct groups. The first group 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. 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 a variety of lures and tend to feed in aggressive "bite windows".

Below you'll find links to the key baits we discussed in the video. 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. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.
