Our Favorite Ways To Approach Summertime Bass Fishing!

[@mikechang1004]

“I don’t hate the Ned Rig. I just don’t need it.” I want THAT on a t-shirt! 🥰

[@georgeadcock2347]

That goes on a T shirt. "I'm a Nedrig Hater". Great job guys. Griff has the right idea . If it's not fun I'm going home. Agree totally.

[@memikecraig]

Hey guys! My family and I stopped into the shop early last week while visiting from the Chicago area. I was in awe at the store and the service my brother in law and I received from Griff was top notch. It was awesome to meet you guys and see where all the magic happens. My brother in law stopped back a second time without telling me (what an asshole) but you have a customer for life with me and I can't wait to start throwing some of these Megabass lures I scooped up. You'll be seeing an order from me again soon!

[@tomselick6983]

My truck has been getting warranty work for 3 months now…. Ive gained a whole new respect for bank fishing and fallen in love with it on really windy days so im glad to hear both u guys talk👍👍👍

[@dennisederer3594]

Thank you for another excellent presentation. So true that there no “one way” to catch bass. The better angler has a tool chest of suitable baits; and hopefully, creates a pattern. Thank you again.

[@fidangyang1995]

Me: "Hey Grif! What lures do you recommend throwing in the summer?" Grif: "Yes."

[@nathanellis914]

Griff has his summer look going strong.

[@nullbucket9842]

That was the best straight fishing talk, at least top 5 out there in the KZbin recently. So many dimensions to fishing. Nice Job.

[@colinjames2383]

Cheers from the California Delta !! Maybe one day you guys could do video just for the delta rats !! Thanks guys

[@randyjob5769]

Ben you nailed it right at the end, when you said maybe their lake aren't that shallow but the weeds are just that tall... I didn't realize until I got a boat that a lot of the time I'm frogging over 16 ft of water because I have 16 ft tall hydrilla in a lot of the ponds that I fish during the summer

[@emerytwyman5951]

I love you guys!! When you said let the swimjig sink to 20 feet it sparked something magical in my brains! Idk if I'm just a bank beater but ive never really done that with my swim jigs offshore its normally a football jig! Sheesh i already know its going to work! Cheers gentleman!

[@_bassadd1ct_]

Griff definitely sticks to his guns, I respect it. I have way too much fishing ADHD to just throw one topwater and then go straight to the bottom, or only throw one jig trailer. I have confidence baits but i’ll also throw the whole damn tackle box 😂

[@440-fishermandrock8]

I love watching videos that show how other fisherman are catching them. My best baits this spring were the senko, chatterbait, whopper plopper., lipless cranks. It's been hot af lately so summer fishing has been a little difficult . Been using the WP still, also now using a weighted wacky rig 1/16 With a senko or 6th sense clout

[@_Mr.Giraffe]

Fantastic video as always! I love how much Griff hates the ned rig lmao

[@bassman6211]

I hate the Ned rig as well. Lol

Great video fellas,I think AZ is the hardest place to fish in the summer.

[@gstixfishing9746]

Facts!!

[@scottleggejr]

Bartlett top water is absolutely fire right now right before sunset. Go around here (33.87945, -111.61334) and there's an island you can wade out to and fish off. Cast toward the buoys and slay the bass. Great fun for kids. Kids were throwing 2-3" swimbaits with a ton of scent on it with 1/4oz jigheads on light (1000series/8lbs test mono) spinning gear and adults had 3" top water poppers. Dropshot when the top water isn't blowing up, in ~50' from a boat 8-10" dropshot on 3/16-1/4oz with 4-6" curly tail worms. You might get some up on the shore/shallower, but they're small and sparse. They're deep when it's bright/hot.

[@ewwee2k]

Thanks for the video! How are you setup for the Sakamata Shad when you’re swimming it at high speed, line size, hook type ect.?

[@cerebraltackle]

No Do-Live Stick for soft Jerkbait? That's cool....more for me! 😁

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great video awesome insight

[@mikekeller8660]

Griff and I would get along great. I HATE the Ned Rig and you've got to have fun. If Griff doesn't have a boat, the store needs to buy him one. Even if it's a Hobie fishing kayak. Make a video with both you guys in same boat fishing. Would be great.

[@skipdockside]

"Ohhh summertime for us is hell" "Ooooh we live in such a warm climate" "Ooooh fishing all year round" I'll send you a bottle of maple syrup from my igloo so you can drown your sorrows. (insert laughing emoji here, I genuinely don't know how from PC)

[@Mr.Higgs.]

🤣 yea I feel you. I only get about 5 months of fishing and the other 5-6 months it's all about hunting.

no love for that jackall flickshake worm with the jackall weedless wacky jig? people sleep on it.

[@dant8213]

I've never actually tried to dropshot a curly tail worm for some reason...maybe ill give it a try next time they aren't biting

[@FlippinOkie]

I cant afford a damn thing yall have lmao BUT im a tackle/fishing junkie and have been binge watching your channel all week!.

[@Mr.Higgs.]

They sell baits for less than $6 from alot of brands...

[@FlippinOkie]

@@Mr.Higgs. yes i know.. i was reffering to how expensive everything i want is....

[@florissant_fish2852]

A football jig is my favorite thing to throw period! What’s Griffs jig set up?

[@waynelagarde7956]

I smashed em on the one knocker spook and the pop max on the 4th of July.

[@tywalters7034]

So y’all would throw magdraft along side the spark shad??

[@Tbowie13]

I'm not the H.U.T., but I fish both alot. I use the Magdraft and Magslowl for individual "trophy" fish because of their larger size, and drawing power. But when bass are schooling and after a baitball in a "specific size" I use the spark and Hazedong shad, with a flashyspinner or Okashira screwhead to, make them stand out from the rest of the thousands of baitfish (at times though, they prefer just the Okashira head, without the screw). But both are "finesse" type presentations IMO, just different scenarios. Anyhow, thats how I use them.

[@philippealbert7074]

Fish below the thermocline?? 🧐

[@skipdockside]

Question for griff tho, do you bend out the hooks on your Gavacho for hook up ratio, or do you leave it stock?

[@gstixfishing9746]

Never bend the hooks...hookup ratios are born in the hookset

[@skipdockside]

@@gstixfishing9746 A substantial number of pros would disagree with you on that one. Time and place, of course. Not all frogs need the adjustment. It's why I'm asking about the Gavacho specifically.

[@gstixfishing9746]

@@skipdockside name those pros? If ur bending hooks out on a frog u 1. Ur using a garbage frog Or 2. U suck at frog fishing

[@skipdockside]

@@gstixfishing9746 You are a complete waste of my time, but let me educate you a bit. Statistically speaking, bending out the hook of a frog GREATLY increases hook up ratio, I dont care if you're KVD - the ratio will only go up. However its at the sacrifice of landing ratio. Therefore; If you are in open water, or fishing edges of cover and you have very little to get in the way of landing your fish (no thick weeds, no reeds, no logs to wrap around.) it is ABSOLUTELY ideal to bend out your hooks. On the contrary, if you're in thick cover, you cant sacrifice that landing ratio. As I said : Time and place. If you weren't such an arrogant little prick, sitting around on the internet running his mouth instead of studying - you would already know this. My question was for Griff, another angler with ACTUAL experience and knowledge of the sport, about a frog you cant afford. Go back to your pond, and maybe start approaching conversations with the understanding that you clearly don't know the ins and the outs of this sport. Next time that lesson is gonna cost you a grand.

[@mikewilson8830]

What’s your preferred way to rig/fish the soft jerk baits? You rigging weightless on an EWG? Or belly weighted swimbait hook? Keep the great video’s coming, can’t wait till we get back to AZ to come harass you guys again.

Pride goeth before the NED rig

[@dant8213]

Fishing in summer...better than winter but not my favorite time to fish. So crowded and fish are pressured so much more, they can be predictable tho
