These Baits Catch Bass When It’s Hot In August!
These baits get bit in spite of the heat! You’ve got to try them! If you’re struggling to get bit, it’s time to downsize. We’re at the beginning of a trend that will last all the way into Fall. Juvenile baitfish are beginning to show up in your lake, they’ll become more prevalent in the coming months and you need to be ready. Catch bass around them by downsizing your presentation!
We love power fishing! We love swimbaits, topwater, and large creature baits, but we also understand when it’s time to put them down. As the heat of August sets in, smaller profiles will save your fishing. Don’t be afraid to try these tiny soft plastics and hard baits when the going gets tough.
Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits for this time period. We’ve included our favorite colors, rigging components, as well as the gear we use to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
