Hot Summer Bass Fishing Techniques and Gun Shots



It’s been a hot summer already here in Texas. With almost no wind, and high humidity, bass fishing on this day was tough. We arrived at the lake around 10AM, but there were still a few topwater bass active when we got there. Somebody must have been shooting at a snake or a beaver or something, because there were some random gun shots that were pretty close. Not my first time having bullets fly around the boat in east Texas…

The shad were mostly suspended just a few feet below the surface, staying above the thermocline. The best pattern was fishing an old road bed with crankbaits. The road had some old big trees along the side of it that were holding most of the bigger bass. This was a typical tough summer bass fishing day in Texas that calls for a variety of techniques to bring numbers of bass in.

  1. Is it bad if you use braid all the time? I use braid all the time for everything, i get bout the same bite as my buddy who uses flouro even on finicky fish. May just be the body of waters i fish idk. Just curious.

  2. Whaaaat?! New lake. Wow. Super cool. You should try 50# braid to 30 or 25# fluo. Or 50 or 65 braid to berkely vanish 30# or less fluorocarbon. That water is super clear and vanish will be clear as day underwater. Just something from the bay area boy. Excited you're having fun. I'll be having fun in 7 hours at Paradise Lake in California. Seeya

  3. So I fished today (se KS) lots of tress like that, it was 100 outside and water temp 90!!! Caught some on rattle traps no luck with any plastics, water anywhere from 5-30 feet, didn’t think about 🐸, advice?

  4. lmao I just got back from fishing at stillhouse lake in central tx and heard gunshots just like that today and flipped shit. haha funny how i watch this today right after this just happened to me. just when you think you where in a peaceful environment then bam a gunshot haha

  5. question for you LakeForkGuy. I had 3 rods snap on me so far this year, Shimano Sojourn, KVD quantum, and can't remember the third. $50 dollars isn't being the bank but it's a pain to see them break. question is, what type rods do you use?
