Fishing The Dog Days Of Summer! (Frog And Topwater Tips)
Come along for some HOT Summer Bass Fishing! Tim and JD are back on the water and the bass are biting! They’re exploring shallow, grassy coves with topwater and Tim is teaching JD as they go. From cast angles to subtle bait entry into the water, there are some knowledge gems amongst the fish catches.
Summer heat can be brutal! Scorching Summer temperatures seem to have come early this year, and while it may be uncomfortable to fish in, the bass are biting! Let the high temperatures work for you, as bass position around shade edges. The guys were able to capitalize with a variety of topwater baits, with the occasional dropshot fish mixed in.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear they used used throughout the day. We’ve also included some great budget–friendly combos for the angler who wants to fish these techniques effectively without spending excessively on the gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
