Where do bass go in Summer? Some stay shallow, while others move out deep. Both groups of fish require different lures and approaches. Today we’re headed out on the water to check both groups of fish. We do some shallow fishing, some ledge fishing, and ultimately locate big, aggressive fish on an offshore flat. Come along!
Summer is all about adapting to the conditions. Water flow, water temperature, cloud cover, and presence of baitfish, can all change how the fish are positioning and feeding. Watch as Tim’s day starts out slow but ramps up as he continues to adapt until locating aggressive fish. Also pay extra attention to the details on lures as he talks about adapting and rigging the different baits he’s catching fish on.
Below you’ll find links to all the baits and equipment Tim used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors and sizes for each so you can see exactly what he was using. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#bassfishing #swimbait #topwater
hey i live in Idaho so will the some bait work in mt start and can you make a video on it
Catching them is great but how about trying to find them with out the sonar
Can't wait to throw it tonight! They look rad! I got the silver and black.210, my cousin took the trout! Awesome box they come in.
Hum🤔 you forgot to add that Dawia Steez SV TW in the description under your underspin/topwater combo 🤔😉
Great video, Tim! I loved getting to tag along! Other guys add background music, I love how I can hear the silence and nature on the water in your video, so peaceful! You guys still have the best fishing channel, in my opinion. I couldn’t get on the water today and this video was the next best thing! Thanks TB!
My boy Travis put me on
The almost silent words of "Don't get me" as he unhooks the fish is the very crucial part of fishing 😂🤙🏽
How would I fish a reservoir like Lake Allatoona?
Breakfast burritooooo choked !!
Great job Tim 👌 thanks for video 😊
My dad would like to know what boat is that your using?
Please make a smaller size wake bait at a lower price point.
What's your go to braid to leader knot and how often do you retie it? Great video as usual!
Love he lipped the Gill! Nice! Thats when you know it's a good gill
Great informative video!
Any tips? What should I throw when the shad is tiny, I mean tiny. Maybe 1/4th of an inch at best. The fish here are keyed on it and I’m looking for some baits that match the bait fish.
You’re the man… Appreciate the great videos and instruction.
Great video Tim. Also like seeing you guys out on the water. What knot are you using for braid to floro?
Love the videos and the tips! Always enjoy listening to yalls content. Are yall planning on getting your hands on the new bass mafia swimbaits? They look absolutely stellar with really awesome color options.
Is that a poison adrena being used with the blade bait?
Hey guys!!! Congrats from SPAIN. I think tou must show your POV when you are throwing your bait, so we can indentify the type os structure or landscape you are throwing to.
Thanks buds.
Great Video 👍🎣
