Summer Decisions
by Mike Gerry
As we progress into the summertime patterns, bass fishing becomes more complex and hence, there are many more decisions you need to make to have successful trips during the heat of the summer. Decisions that you make will generally guide you through the day – it will be good or not so good.

Summer big baits
by Mike Gerry
As we slowly move on with summer, it can be a time of year where size matters. At no time during the fishing year is the size of your bait more important than now. The difference is that most people go with small baits in the summer; however, if you’re wanting to catch big quality bass, fish with big baits like 7-inch swim baits, 3/4 oz. jigs with large trailers that give the jig a bulky look, 3/4 to 1 oz. spinner baits with large willow leaf blades. Defy the norm and work with size to achieve size in your catch.

Retrieve speed
Some things in the heat of the summer just can’t be ignored, and retrieving speed is critical during the summer. One of the most critical things that people do wrong, when they have trouble catching fish, is how quickly you retrieve your bait while fishing!

Go shallow
As we move into the summer, fishing gets tough. The deep water is hot in water temperature, the bass are lethargic, and getting a bite can be tedious work. Sometimes, the answer is not where you might expect, as many times the bass have moved into very shallow water.

Jigging spoon
When the water gets hot, and the bass are looking for oxygen, looking for cooler water or just suspending, nothing duplicates that results of a jiggling spoon. What makes it even better than most realize is it’s bait that even the most inexperienced angler can use and be successful.
