Summer Bass Strategies That Work

When the temperatures climb, big bass don’t disappear—you just have to know where and how to find them. Here’s what I’ve learned from countless hours on these waters:

  • Go Deep: Warm surface temps push bass into cooler depths—often 15 to 30 feet—near submerged timber, ledges, and offshore humps.

  • Fish the Low Light: Dawn and dusk are magic hours for topwater bites and active feeding.

  • Match the Menu: Summer bass chase shad, so using lures that imitate their favorite meals can make all the difference.

  • Try the Night Bite: After dark, big bass often come out to feed aggressively.

Making the Most of Modern Electronics

Bass fishing today is part skill, part technology. I’ll show you how to make your electronics work for you, turning sonar and mapping from confusing displays into precision tools. On our trip, we’ll cover:

  • Sonar & Fish Finders: Read depths, spot bait, and find the best fishing zones.

  • GPS Mapping: Mark productive spots and navigate the lake with confidence.

  • Live Scanning Sonar: See fish in real time, adjust your presentation, and improve your catch rate.
