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.

What lake is this???
thanks for no explaination useless
Submerged road beds were probably constructed mostly of stone/gravel. These hide all types of little creatures and crawfish. Might be why you find bass there.
Lake nacaniche. Awesome awesome lake there boys. I live in Troup Texas about an hour from this lake it’s 1 of our favorite lakes out here. Big bass dream lake
Lake naconiche
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.
Protect your face but, leave your legs and feet to get burned up? Makes no sense. Real men don't do shorts ……. girls 😂😂😂
It doesn't have to be hunting season for me to fire my weapon!
You don't need Brad because I caught a 7 pound bass and 5 ounces
when you are on the lake, what do you do when you have to pee?
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
Not very many tips
well, nice boat but I am 72 and need a seat to rest while fishing… LOL
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?
Why don’t u ever say what lake u are at anymore ??
why u release the fish after u fish? waste time
If he added 17 more seconds he could’ve made more money off of this video

LakeForkGuy I have a challenge for you Come to NC and fish Belews Lake with me! hardest fishing you've ever done!
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
Thanks for putting your baits in the comments!!! Getting back into fishing after 20+ years. That braid is a life saver.
Lmao "YES….yes…"
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?
Good to see you on Naconiche!!! That little lake is something special
im new to fishing…what bait did you use ?
I caught a 2 pound largemouth yesterday with a crappie jig on a bobber. I thought I had the world record crappie on my line 😂😂
the only other shaine I know spelt that way!
Please go sub to me
