Here are the top 5 baits we trust to catch bass in July! We’re entering the HOTTEST month of the year and its going to bring very predictable fishing patterns. Get ready to catch some bass!! the fishing is amazing! You can fish these baits with confidence whether you’re walking the shore of a pond, exploring a clear water reservoir, or flipping your way through a shallow Southern fishery.
As temperatures soar bass become lethargic and spend much of the day tucked against cover or structure. Once you know where to look (we’re going to explain that too) all you have to do is fish these baits with confidence. You can catch fish all Summer long and we’re going to help you do it!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits we’re throwing throughout the month. We’ve included our favorite sizes and colors, and even a few of the combos we use to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#July #bassfishing #Summerfishing
Three months late but better late than never !
Want to bring dog alone what happens when they have to go to bathroom and the banks are not ideal to pull up either cut bank or weeded jungle?!
I wish fishing videos were shorter and fast;/
You got a skeeter
The dog is even triggered by that crank bait
Gorgeous weim
@tacticalbassin is frog fishing worth it in the afternoon? I never really go fishing in the mornings or after sunset since the parks I fish are closed but I normally go around 3 pm to 7 pm on my kayak or bank fishing is the frog even worth it during those times?
Thanks for your info to help us
You have a Weimaraner? You can't be all bad if you have a Weimaraner! Lol.
Any one know of any videos about quarry fishing for bass
If the thermocline is at 12ft, how is a deep diving crankbait effective in 20+ft?
Please discuss how the thermocline depth effects where the fish will be.
Where’s Matt?
I’ve been killing it on whacky rigs I use yums I’ve caught 19 fish so far with whacky rigs
OSP tiny blitz for cranking in and around grass is the best
Love your co-star!
Steroids, I believe you misspoke and should have said steroids and more steroids on top of tren and HGH.
Matt and Tim. Can you please do a video on how you guys put braid on a reel? I got the Metanium to frog and have the drag all the way cranked down but I can easily pull line out by hand. There is tension but its not locked up… I don't think the braid is slipping/spinning on the spool. I have 20 pound mono backing connected to 65 pound braid. Help! The setup with the Expride XH feels awesome but when I set the hook it gives a little bit. Thank you
Thanks so much!!! I enjoy fishing in the summer for bass and this video helped me out!!! I just caught a three pounder! Thanks for the advice!
I'm curious, do your tips apply mostly to southern region fishing? I live in Michigan and don't really see much content that is equally applicable to north and south. Most things are pretty universal, but I know timing can be different and some things vary.
Frog fishing aka "power on power" means once you hook the right fish, your XH feels like a ML 😅
Hi Tim. Love your videos and excellent tips and advice. Taking my son fishing for bass in Sardinia Italy next week. Could you please give us a small tips video on recording tips that you use for your Gopro or gear?
Pretty much done with my ugly stick I've been fishing with for about 5years
I'm going to get everything he's talking about, but first I got to get a kickin'combo spin casting reel&rod
We talk about livescope to much that it’s over shadowing the effects that AquaView is having on the Tour. Let’s talk about it!
Is it possible to throw an A rig on a spinning combo if so how heavy is preferred because I only have a semi heavy spinning combo
<<<a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Only thing better than catching them on a buzzbait is on a frog. Very enjoyable video Debo, you smoked em. I sure wish you would try that double bladed white 1/8 oz BT's buzzbait I mailed to you. It's a blast to throw especially shallow and in the heat.
Can you do a too baits you would throw from shore aka dealing with all kinds of things to get hung up on lol
What happened to your champion???
Tim I have to know what Steez AGS that is that I keep seeing show up
Great dog breed
Sweeet. It’s fun right now dude. I gotta stick with the chatterbait until I stop getting SMASHED on it. 😎🤙🏽
Like the top 5 presentations. How about something that works, that might be off the wall the bass wouldn't expect but will bite
do you have any cheaper options for poppers?
Tim- "Bloop. Bloop, bloop, bloop."
Dog- "This dude has lost his mind."
Good list. Swim Jig definitely in my top 5 tho.
