Where Do Bass Go In Summer? (And How To Catch Them)

[@claydice91]

Y’all need a TV channel. Seriously, a 30- 1hr long episode every day or every other day. I’d watch non stop.

[@richardj6593]

I have studied bass behavior my whole life and read many books. You are BY FAR the best teacher I have ever seen. My 10 year old son listened to your video on the June full moon. He caught an 8 pounder on Father's Day after dark! You need to write a book!

[@tacticalbassin]

That is awesome!! Please congratulate him for both Tim and I! And thank you so much for the kind words.

[@matthoo81]

If you bass fish you HAVE to watch these videos. By far the best instructional videos out there. The only better teacher is actual time on the water. The absolute best!!!

[@Dss-bm3rz]

Matt, your such a natural teacher. Keep it up boss

[@c.shoefish]

He really is... excellent presentation ability

[@gr0uch02a]

@Rookie Chef Stick to cooking and leave the fishing to people who know what their (yes, I know) talking about, boy.

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

He is a phenomenal teacher

[@jamesfuller8159]

Matt I’m 65 years old and I’ve caught a 11lb4oz and a 15lb2oz in my years of fishing and I’m still learning things from you guys! Have not caught a good fish in about 10 years but I still remember the filling of a true monster hook up!, y’all keep this old man trying to do it again, and I get my motivation from you and your brother! Keep it up! The OLD Man GOD Bless!!! And don’t forget to spend the days off with your family time

[@Jeremy5000i]

Matt you are an actual god! I think it’s amazing how you can do a whole 20 min video without making one cut to it. And the whole time you’re enthusiastic and straight to the point about everything! To me it seems like you were put on this world to share yer knowledge. I’m so thankful that I have people like you to teach me about bass fishing, that’s one good thing I feel about technology is you can get 10, 20, 30 years of knowledge all in one KZbin video! Thank you so much again Matt, yer honestly my idol!🐟

[@joexiong13]

Man. After 3 years of watching you guys. This is probably one of the Best Videos ever!!! Thanks!!

[@TristianWrites]

I’m not gonna lie. This is the best channel to learn bass fishing. If you follow this advice YOU WILL CATCH FISH.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks!!

[@llpressstartll7894]

Matt Allen is a national treasure! Protect him at all cost!

Does anyone understand how these guys don't have 10x the subs they have? They deserve so much more!

[@flippindocks8183]

You are such a well spoken, articulate, educated man. You have a gift and I personally want to say "thank you" for sharing your knowledge and dedicating your life to teaching the world how to fish. Keep up the great work.

[@anthonyceleste5468]

I'm new to bass fishing. bought my first boat back in june. (1993 bass cat Pantera II) . I've had hit and miss days out on the water, but mostly miss days. I've found a body of water that hold some monster bass for our area (5-6 lbs). This video was awesome. It showed me stuff that i never thought of trying. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@BobbyLunsford83]

Thank you for giving up 24 minutes of valuable topwater time for us!

[@anthonymunster3696]

Hey guys, Just had my best fishing trip ever because of all the things I learned from you both. Thank you so much. Awesome job Matt on this and once again I will say thank you for all your dedication to teaching people what you love.

[@garyscott982]

Matt I’m 74 yrs young fished these hawgs for 40+ years in Ca. And Tn. Ms. and Kentucky and have talked to all the good local pros and I have never been treated to the real information the way you do it. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep catching more fish every trip I take in my kayak.

[@johnnytacle2430]

Somebody finally threw in a Senko I love it literally just subscribed been watching you for a while but dude nobody teaches like you do in the way we fisherman need to learn

[@zacharyspriggs4225]

These patterns couldn't be more accurate. I have been seeing it develop in the past few weeks. Thanks guys!

[@gr0uch02a]

Easily one of the very best bass fishing videos I have ever seen. Just fantastic information.

[@alexganaway8100]

You're very lucky my wife didn't here you say "you don't need any new baits" almost tossed my phone. 😆

[@chrisbruce7594]

😅8😊😊

[@ArborGeist]

Appreciate all the knowledge. I've caught more fish this spring than I did all last year thanks to this channel. You guys deserve 1M subs!

[@johndoeglogloku5333]

One of the best bass teachers going down in history mark my words!

[@Huflung]

If not THE best! The clarity of his explanations and ability to go in depth combined with the passion behind everything he says. He keeps momentum behind everything. I realize I sound incredibly gay here.

[@TomBrown1018]

Hahaha hella true tho bro, Not gay at all. Matt is a savage and an unbelievable teacher for sure.

[@majikcitymikeb8534]

Ive probably watched over 100 videos on summer fishing and best baits to use...this one is, in my opinion, is by far, the most informative on both topics. its thorough but simple enough to easy take in the info and adaptable to any type of location. good damn job!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!

[@louisweckesser1704]

Man you're a bass encyclopedia thanks for doing these videos I'm definitely going to put your knowledge to good use .wish me luck

[@artillerylife]

You guys are always awesome! I’m I. The military so I’m always moving to different parts of the country and always have to learn how that area fishes and y’all help me out every time I move! Thanks again

[@lannyseals2084]

The tactical family is Killin it! Through your families advise so many different door's opened up for me trying new things that are not seen much at all around here.. thank you tactical family for the awesome videos and advise,the way you guy's break things down and teach can't be compared to any other I've seen!

[@johnnysants3980]

By far and away the best bar none ! And I have watched them all, the rest are a clown show . Thank you for all your efforts to teach and share!,,,god bless .regaurds new haven ct

[@muskietime]

Man! You guys are amazing! Educational, easy to understand, passionate and 100% honest. The description of baits and gear are second to none. Much of what I buy via Tacklewarehouse is not via your hyperlink as it seems like I have to login separately but Tacklewarehouse should know that much of What I Buy is because of you two. I have a bunch of their $5 T-Shirts to prove it. Thank you again.

[@mikeup7517]

You guys have taught me so much on where and how to catch bass. In past years I would put my gear away usually in November and wouldn't touch them again until spring. I caught some of my biggest fish this last winter when I normally wouldn't even be fishing and I'd like to say thank you! You have 10 fold made me a better angler and I love it.

[@PanhandlePrepping]

You need your own television network show! You’re a phenomenal teacher and break things down very succinctly without rambling or going off on a random tangent. Clear, concise, and to the point. Well done! You have a new subscriber in me.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!

[@seanmccloskey98]

Everything you said in this video... summed up my trip to HH in a heat wave... 105 temps.... caught about eight 2 lbers in 3 hours working the shadow lines from over head cover... then the moster showed up... so big it shattered my gear on the breech. Reeel handle snapped in half :(. Great video... Summer confidence is back!

[@dalenorvell9080]

I'm happy I'm part of the Tactical family. These videos are so instructional and informative. It is a great feeling to put these techniques to use and put fish in the boat! Thanks guys!

[@locodragon28]

You guys are the best on KZbin for fishing period. Keep it up!!!

[@flukeguru1]

THANK YOU FOR THE TON OF INFORMATION. jUST FROM THIS VIDEO I NOW KNOW HOW FISH THINK AND REACT. I WILL TAKE YOUR ADVICE, LIKE I ALWAYS DO AND TRY THE DIFFERENT BAITS TO SEE THE RESULTS.

[@chrisshreve1736]

Thanks for your time and help. I felt like giving up and I watch you and I feel energized and ready to try again. My pb isn't but four pounds but it is because I haven't always went for bass. I was usually fish n cats pb for them was 27. I want to catch a nice pb. I have been catching the two pounders. Try to find the HOGZILLA... Thanks Matt

[@letsRegulateSociopaths]

I love your enthusiasm! Makes me want to catch a fish! Feel like you guys are the only ones who give out the real goods on this level of fishing.

[@bobward7489]

Matt, another great video. You and Tim produce the absolute best quality fishing instruction on KZbin, and frankly in general. Not only is it the knowledge you provide, it's inspiration as well. Natural born teacher. I, like many others I am sure, appreciate the time and effort you guys put in to provide the content that you do. Thank you!

[@samkendall4975]

Here’s a challenge. Come to Lake Grapevine in Grapevine TX. There is no cover, no vegetation, and hardly any docks. There are mostly rocky shoreline which provide cover for fish, however the rock have deep crevices where it is almost impossible to throw a lure. There is no grass in or around this lake whatsoever. You would be lucky to catch one fish in a week.

[@BillJacksonDesign]

TacticalBassin has become my go to everything fishing related. You guys know your stuff, and more importantly, you know how to teach it. Great video.

[@getthe6513]

Can you look at a lake map/chart and determine where current will likely be present? Perhaps a video idea if you haven't made one yet?

[@Nehringer1]

Matt, Great job as always! Things have really changed since you were last on Pickwick a few weeks ago. The grass has blown up! I've just about abandoned the ledges because I've not found anything out there in a while. I've been catching good fish shallow in the early morning along rock walls and steep banks, and while graphing some ledges later in the day, I stumbled across some thick grass on humps. I found it because I heard and saw fish tearing up the surface a few yards from where I was graphing. When I idled over to the disturbance, I found myself mired in hydrilla thick enough to stop the boat. Bait was everywhere! The water comes up on either side of these humps from 30' and the grass starts around 10-12'. There are a couple of deep lanes around the high spots. I wasn't marking any fish in the deep areas, so I assumed they were all up under the mats. The grass is topped out in a few places, and its still growing. I've fished the edges with swim jigs, ripped swim jigs through the stuff, fished a frog over the top, punched it with a heavy weighted creature, ran a weightless fluke all over the place. Only had a few blow ups and just a couple hook-ups. I'm losing the paddle tails off my trailers, so I figure the gar are snatching them off. When the fish are blowing up on the wads of bait, it looks like schools of bass as the frenzy is over a space of a few yards and constant for several seconds, then it will quiet down and blow up somewhere else. Is it too early to expect to find bigger bass leaving the deep water ledges in favor of the matted grass? Water temps are still in the 90's. Will fishing pressure drive them off the ledges into thicker cover? I don't see too many other boats messing with the grassy areas. Am I onto something, or wasting my time?

[@rbchoyce]

I was all frustrated.. Now I got some motivation for summer bass

[@Larry77777]

Hey Matt: You are God's gift to bass anglers.

[@tacticalbassin]

😂 Thanks Larry!

[@Josey4u]

Dude a Shakyhead set up has been THE go-to for me in the hot months. I just can't justify putting it down when I am catching fish. Nice video Matt. Thanks for all you do.

[@kennyhilton7229]

This guy and the guy from Fishing the Moment. Tons of knowledge!

[@brendanporee9454]

Your videos give me hope. I go out day after day, after day... trying any spot I have access to near me (Modesto, CA). Places are either over fished, or I am just not experienced enough to get their attention. I'm hoping one day I wont get skunked.

Love the way this channel is growing and changing the teaching game for fishing! Keep it up, you guys are awesome!

[@TheNickbena]

can you guys do a video where you graph the offshore or deep water bass, explain how you setup position to catch them, and why choose the bait you choose?

[@fuhhkuuu3207]

Well, if you had any common sense you would figure it out for yourself. Trial and error is key in life. Videos are helpful, but if you didn't learn enough from this video, just stop fishing. Use what YOU trust, and be confident in it. You'll catch em.

[@TheNickbena]

It's nice being able to come to your channel when I have questions and find a video and I know it's gunna have some awesome information.

[@williej.allenjr.510]

Matt, this is one of your best videos. The information and detail is just what I need to stay successful this summer. I appreciate the time you put into making these videos and the knowledge and skill you’re sharing bro. Keep coming and tight lines!

[@zacharybuchanan1587]

Matt and Tim. First off, I'd like to say I really enjoy watching your videos. They have taught me a lot and allow me to be more confident on the water. 2nd, lately it seems literally every tournament I've had the past month has been light storm to complete down pour. I would love to see some tips on what approach you guys take in these conditions. I've lost confidence over these weeks as the weather conditions have really slowed my fishing down. Thanks!

[@johndoe-pb4mv]

Man, that full moon phase video was crazy. I went fishing on the last night of the full moon and I swear there were at least 30 boats out there. They all must have seen your videos because Ive never seen this before, fishing that lake for over 20 years. lol.

[@joshpxj]

Thanks for all the time and work you put into your videos.

[@KingSharpeMan]

Yesterday I lost a monster fish on a Chatterbait that the fish hit on the fall, I'm not sure the depth of where it was, but I believe you when you're talking about how fish stick to shallow or deeper, I believe it was around 14-10 feet. Im gonna go back and keep trying!

[@ronnasonjr4857]

Thanks a ton Matt! I love how you Guys break it all down! It's super appreciated by us newbies.

[@bassnxiong5025]

Matt, what you just said is so true. I got 10th place fishing grass that was close to deep water. I was slow rolling your jig head paired with a 3.3 keitech shad pattern swimbait. Let just say I ran out of swimbaits.

[@IC_Bass]

I caught my PB Friday night! 5 pounder super shallow around 9pm! Thanks!

[@claudegagne2805]

So first of all thank you for the information. Very well done. I've saved it so I can review it. Second, I would love to see you do the same survey in Canada keeping in mind our local fishing guidelines and rules. For example, we can't openly fish bass until the third Saturday in June. That means we could miss that full moon in June. We cannot fish during the spawn which is mid June typically. (Although the climate change seems to be changing that. I'd love to discuss this more in-depth with you if you have a chance. Thanks again!

Thanks Matt for the great instructions but I have to keep going back in time and re-watching. Here in North Central Illinois I caught 4 bass yesterday, 3 of which had not spawned yet! Your web site makes that an easy. Thanks for that.

Best channel and best hosts on youtube hands down, no contest

[@gl3618]

Ever hear of "ledge busters?" They made them for lake eufala in the summer. Lots of guys trolled them down drop offs and over deep cover. Trolling wasn't fishing to me, still isn't, but to each their own. They were a simple single willow blade spinner bait, but 3 times the size and 5 times the weight.

[@ReelandRoll]

Awesome video....you missed out on one area though. The deep PNW, I’m talking western WA. Water never freezes, but it almost never gets above 75F....it fishes like a different universe. I’ve fished south of the mason, the boundary waters, the ol miss, and a lot in the Midwest....it doesn’t fish the same. These bass are different (largemouth). Smallies I have no issue with, but getting a top water blowup on lake WA in July, for example, forget it.

[@joshallen5847]

Hands down the best fishing video I’ve seen! Thanks for all you guys do for us!

[@OrilliaFishing]

I've not put this into practice yet but I have to say, this is the best video I've ever watched.

[@thegreendank1]

I caught my biggest fish in July off of fallen trees or Lilly pads. Biggest fish was like a 3 foot flip from shore. A lot of people cast miles but forget in the summer you can catch them a couple feet from shore.

[@robbyatwood7734]

My pond doesn’t have much grass or algae. It does have a lot of hanging trees along the bank with steep drop offs to 10-15 feet. Those trees were super productive late spring early summer but it’s died now. Only getting 2 pounders on frogs or Texas rig senkos. My pond typically isn’t a very good offshore pond but I guess I’ll just try it all day and see if I can figure it out

[@robcrosby71]

best video ever.. lol.. just getting back into fishing this year and actually doing the research why they stopped biting after may.. started using big worm and noticed fish were spawning.. caught a ton of 4 and 5 pounders including my pb 7 lbs. now im focusing on top water . but the pressure has fallen the last few days and i had to work.. now the pressure is too low. trying to figure out the lake im going to.. scouted the shallows today and not a fish in sight.. ( couple of small ones) and not geared up to punch the mats of grass yet and now sure if any big fish are in there.. hoping to see more action when pressure rises.. or ill focus on deep water fishing.. tough in a kayak and no fish finder.. might try the points again with suggested gear.. and about to look for your video on pressure .. i think you made 1... thanks
