Two Baits That Everyone Overlooks In August!
Jump in the boat with Matt for an awesome afternoon on the water! He’s been on an amazing jig bite and it looks like he’s picking up where he left off. As the bite begins to fade, he switches gears to the swimbait, another overlooked bait, and loads the boat again!
August can be a difficult month for bass fishing. A lot of anglers struggle to understand how bass position in the heat. Today Matt is explaining exactly how the fish are positioned, what cover is holding the fish, and why these baits are so effective to catch them.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included the jig colors, trailers, swimbaits, as well as the rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
