3 August Baits That Work | Bass Fishing

New July 30, 2026 1 views

August bass can feel scattered, but you don’t need a dozen techniques to catch them. In this video I break down the three bait categories that consistently produce in August—soft plastics, topwater, and crankbaits—and how to fish each one whether you’re targeting deep structure or shallow shade/weed edges.
We’ll cover my most reliable plastic picks (finesse worm, ribbon tail, Senko-style stickbait), when to throw walking baits and buzzbaits, and how to crank the right way by choosing a bait that dives slightly deeper than your target depth so it can deflect and trigger reaction strikes.
