How To Catch Bass In The Heat! ( Its Easy! )

[@soulstech414]

Everyone talks about how to catch bass when you have a bass boat but never how to catch bass from the bank

[@BillyBob-jb3yy]

True from bank just find hidden spot

[@cclayne995]

Keep walking the bank with swimbaits until you get a bite - then stop and pick it apart.

[@dip30ful]

Go where water is cooler..... rivers and creeks. Rapids under bridges. Colder oxygenated river water if u can't get into deep lake water. It's simple. Don't overcomplicate it.

[@donjuan4925]

You’re watching a 2 year old video. I’ve seen plenty of bank fishing videos from big name KZbinrs in the past month

[@trentfranks4507]

From the bank the hard truth is find a pond. Lakes you have to find hidden spots that are not pressured as much usually. From the lake bank live bait is better than lures. Bluegill, Minnows, herring, shad ect. IMO.

[@jacobhorvath1817]

Unrelated to the video but wanted to thank the Tim & Matt for teaching me that a predator fish is a predator fish when they are fired up and feeding on a school of bait fish. This past week I was able to catch my first saltwater fish without a guide applying the principles. Using a flouresnce swim bait on a jig head to stand out with a erratic retrieve I was able to catch two speckled trout. It wasn't much but it meant a lot to me that I was able to do it without a guide. Thanks again!

[@tacticalbassin]

That is awesome! Nice work Jacob!!

[@proxcuber4741]

Who else thinks Matt and Tim should fish a tournament together and post a vid about it? Would be epic!!!

[@AlexBulldogGarcia]

[@joegrande4848]

They would win I'm sure

[@SoSaysYou]

Too much nonsense. They are already winning with what they do now.

[@dannyyork3742]

That would be epic, I think they would do good! I'd say they have already done this in Cali. But be fun to post vid bout it.

[@dakota2842]

1000% agree

[@KrazyKZs_Garage]

Just sitting down to learn about catching bass in the heat since it’s hot here in Florida, and came across this. Outstanding video. Very informative, and helpful from your vantage point. I really appreciate you taking the time to put everything into an 18 minute video. On a sidenote, I got a 6.1 pounder this week from a northern Florida lake, and it was hot and humid, but I caught him at 7:30 AM - Much appreciated stuff here.

[@willieketcher8579]

Will skipping a fluke style under the overhang trees work to?

[@mylesclark3136]

This is probably one of the best videos Iv seen for finding bass in the heat so far. Thanks so much!

[@willperryman4559]

That’s so cool that you went to the weighin for the high school championship, my nephew fished, and finished in the top 50, and had an amazing experience, and met so many pros and learned the depth of the industry.✊🎣✅

[@tacticalbassin]

It was really cool meeting so many high school anglers from across the country.

Love seeing that replay of the 8.8lber you caught earlier this year punching on Headwaters Tim! Love that lake! My first time there, first fish I caught was a 7.98lb postspawner on May 8th flipping a 5" Senko...

[@tacticalbassin]

it is a cool fishery for sure. Congrats on the post spawn giant!

[@bkw664]

I have worn out 4 frogs in last 2 months fishing heavy cover. I have land over 150 bass on different lakes beating the banks with heavy structure and shade pockets. Texas heat is no joke. High 90s and water temp on the 2 lakes I hit this weekend was 86 and 84.

Hey Tim great video very informative , would love to see this video from a bank fishing perspective for those of us that don't have bass boat

[@sleetherookie2929]

Looking for flipping and pitching heavy cover from the bank tip videos but can’t find much. I had to learn it myself and figured it out. I have a few videos on how I flip and pitch thick grass, cat tails, and tullies from the bank on public pressured ponds.

[@all-americanlambs1596]

@tacticalbassin just saw this video and wanted highlight that those red arrows where you pointed to look for action were so helpful. Bifocals can’t hardly pick up where most casts land until the fish has been pulled far toward angler. Using these arrows for directly our attention certainly could help those like me to see where to focus and follow the action for learning. Thanks so much!

[@rickpurcell4920]

Tim, on down here on the north end of Ky Lake TVA is doing the slow drop to winter pool. The have moved off the shore, and we don’t have any grass, to the first structure/cover, which here is either brushpiles or boat docks.

[@Everydayfishing]

There are lots of docks on my home lake so thats usually where we focus on hot days... still seems to be difficult to catch numbers of fish though. It feels like larger groups of fish are off-shore on rock piles - I've had success catching them on spoons or blade baits. Fishing in the heat is definitely the hardest time of year for me but I'm going to keep working on it - thanks for the additional info!

[@davidkavetsky2377]

So true.. unless you have good sonar it's tuff to find brushpiles and ledges

[@vinosfinostapasandwinebar5109]

Love the topic but the NC lake I fish has few overhanging trees as the ground gives away. There are some laydowns that happen as a result but not many. When they designed the lake they cut trees down all around the lake about 10 yards from the shore. There is little vegetation as it is a highland reservoir that goes deep 10 feet from bank.. Finding the schools is the hard part as they suspend off the ledges. Lots of bait fish. Lake has nice ledges. No boat docks only bridges which supply any shade. Can you address these issues in future videos. Love what you and Matt do. Have learned a lot.

[@paulharris2194]

July and August has always been the best fishing month for me. I consistently catch bigger fish in July/August than the pre-spawn and Spawning months! I guess it just plays into my fishing style better, IDK, good video Tim.

[@davidkavetsky2377]

Me too..I'm in FL and don't have sonar so I'm always fishing the pads n docks

[@BigDirtDawg]

@@davidkavetsky2377 i caught a 5 and 7lb within the last week here in lake county Florida. Right off the little doc in my back yard. And it’s been blazing hot

Love you and Matt I nhave been a sub for several years . The info u guys is legit , I’m mostly a shallow fisherman located in N Al so i get the extreme heat and humidity we usually go early daylight till 11:00 -12:00-- some days late in the evening to dark we don’t night fish a lot just isn’t my deal , but love the frog bite , swim jig bite plus in current on pickwick and Wilson lakes the mid range 8- 10’bite can b good with DT 10 and 1/2 oz spinner bait or chatter wagon a bit offshore tell me what u think . Water , power aid lite is a must to keep the head in game in good ole Al in July lol

[@titaniumcrayon3090]

I was out yesterday, they where destroying the popper all day in the shallows. I couldn’t believe it because I expected it to slow down after the sun came out. I just kept it close to the cover and it was magic, then what I couldn’t get with the popper I threw a chatterbait and picked up another couple 3lbers

[@thereelpistolpeteoutdoors8037]

The summer to fall transition happens pretty quickly. As your overnight air temps drop, those fish start to move. We will do a video on this very topic soon.

I would try any type of shade then. Fishing docks etc. If there is no shade then deeper water.

Good advice and this is the majority of how I like to fish on my lake and just out in general. Sun up and a few hours prior to dusk always produces the best for me. I am super fortunate to live in central Florida smack dab in the middle of the state, great fishing lakes are all around. Good luck and tight lines.

[@gamingwithbean7961]

Just got into bass fishing out here and Arizona and man has it been hard to get any bass out here in the heat. I bank so the sun kills me, but honestly nothing feels better than just whipping the baitcaster around even if I don't get a fish. Just the nice calm water and the screaming sound of your reel as your bait goes flying out can't be beat.

[@fishnmaster421]

I have a extra small ice chest/cooler to dip my wicker fishing shirt in. I’ll wet my sleeves or the shoulders and neck part of my shirt in that I’ve water. And it automatically drops my body temp way down.

It was really hot where I live but recently the past couple days, it has cooled off to the mid to high 70s. How will that effect the fish? Would dock fishing still be effective and fishing around weed beds still work? I assume it would right?

Yesterday it was 106° in Southern California, Lake Perris. Surface temp was 86°. Fricken rough. Those fish were between 35-45 ft. No shallow bite. Grant you i had my wife and 2 small kids.

[@Radbiker33357]

In the same boat. Here in north Texas fishing a nearby neighborhood lake and the night time bites are crazy. But during the day I don’t catch anything and neither does anyone else. Maybe 1 every 2 hours. I switch between frogs Texas rig worm and a drop shot and the worm and drop shot have been the most reliable. It’s extremely shallow (6 inches to 2-3 feet) for a good chunk of the lake up until a drop near the water fountain so I have no clue how to get them out and biting consistently. I’m probs going to try swim baits and chatterbaits soon.

Is there anything your change further south where the water temps get into the mid 90's? I was fishing a lake here last weekend, and the surface temp was 95 degrees on 10' deep flat, dropping to about 92 degrees in the 25-30' deep section.
