Mixing Things Up for Largemouths
(March 5th – March 11th and June 4th – June 10th)

The first rule in bass fishing, as any seasoned angler knows, is that there are no rules when it comes to where these incredibly sporting gamefish can be found at any given season of the year. Summer can be one of the most confusing times to narrow them down because one can literally catch them extremely shallow, deep or anywhere in-between.The one thing i do know is the key is never getting caught in a rut and doing ones best to predict the highest percentage locations largemouth will be while continually searching until you find the kind of action you’re looking for.

Summertime shallows are a good example, even though many will tell you to hang up your gear until warm water temperatures relax their grip on your favorite body of water. And today mike fine’ of my staff will be demonstrating an extremely effective pattern anyone can use to target shallow summertime bass.

Then later, we all know bass relate to about any type of cover imaginable. Weeds, rocks, logs, and brush to name a few. But mike weinkauf and brad alcock of my staff will show us another great spot that bass really like to hang out in shallow water… docks!

Now wouldn’t it be great if dock fishing was so simple to picking out any dock… pitching a jig nice and close and having a big ol’ bucketmouth smack it? Well, for now, let’s just say it’s not that simple.Mike and brad will show us why some docks are productive while others are not, where to fish when you find the right ones, and which lures and strategies are most effective.

On today’s episode of good fishing, members of my staff will share a few of their summertime tactics for catching big bucketmouths in the shallows. So just ahead, trusty old standby lures such as the Rat-L-Traps and their effectiveness in shallow weeds, along with where to pitch, which type of lures while targeting only the most productive docks on the lake.
