Today I got 9 bass on my river. I got a Smallmouth, Rock bass and the rest Largemouth. Biggest was 16 inch Largemouth on a watermelon candy wacky bps stik-o. They been hitting 6th sense divine paddle tail swimbaits on a bps speed shad head, wacky rigs, shakey head, and a green pumpkin swim jig with a rage menace grub trailer rigged vertical like a bluegill imitation the most. Got some on crankbaits and poppers also last week!
That is awesome!
I always get big bites with a swim jig in the Summer! But, I rarely swim my swim jig other than to retrieve it for the next cast. I have great success casting it out, letting it fall to the bottom and then using a series of drags, hops and stroking to draw reaction bites. Most times they take it on the fall even though it's only a 1' fall. It works great and catches them when other baits wont draw a reaction.
Swim jigs are so versatile!
Nice, but how do you get those bass waiting at the end of the bluegill beds to bite after they've fed all night?
You put a nugget right in front of a bass' face, they'll generally go for it. Most times even if they've already eaten. The trick is to give them exactly what they are looking for.
I use a shad color jerk bait or crank bait in mornings over long points and off shelves. Then is at slow Texas rig tube or creature bat slow and a curly tailed purple worm on a Carolina rig off the points or drop offs.
Those are great ways to catch fish!
I mostly just stick to fishing in the evening. Too hot for me during the day.
I understand that completely!
I stick to flukes, top waters and Texas rigs because in the summer it looks like a corn field under water with how match vegetation there is.
Those are great presentations to use!
I never had much luck with a jerkbait but I am trying to use it more. Caught some fish but I'm still learning.
I'm still learning too!
I like a rebel spoonbill minnow at the end of downed trees, but I don't cast too close because I don't want to get hung up, but I still like to fish the bottom part of the limbs under the water that you can't see. Good luck.
Those look like some juicy spots! Just because it's not near the shore doesn't mean the bass can't use it for shade and shelter. Some of my favorite honey holes are offshore.
Bass will relate to places that make them feel most comfortable, whether close to the bank or far offshore!
Awesome explanation! This really helps me figure out how to choose my lures! Thanks LB!
Thanks! I'm happy you found it useful!
I been using a small spinnerbait near docks and caught a few crappie and some small bass. At least I'm catching something.
Sometimes going smaller can be the way to go!
That's funny because the crappie in my GFs family pond are bigger than the bass I catch on a spinnerbait
Thanks again for sharing good stuff buddy! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks so much for watching! Have an awesome weekend!
I generally avoid thick grass because it's a hassle from the bank. Gonna use these tips and try fishing more grass.
Fishing the slop can lead to some huge bites!
Do you have a trick for getting those tough summer bites?
Thought you make your own stick baits!
I sure do!
I’m interested in seeing how you make your stick worms with salt. What plastic you use, mold, what kind of salt and how finely ground, etc. Have you ever considered injecting baits like the ones you mention in this video like the rage bug, craw, or beaver?
I did a video a while ago about how I go about making my own soft plastics. You can find it here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqig1blyes-xoaQ.html
Definitely a good one! As you know, I love this rig for sure. Great vid!
Thanks! It really is an amazing setup! I actually need to use it more than I do!
Thanks for sharing the tips and taking the time to make the video!
Thank you so much for watching!
I've seen fish hit an unpainted cedar plug that was freshly whistled. My grandpa told me about a 5lb bass he caught because he saw it break on a walnut that fell out of a tree, so he cast at the same spot and hooked it almost as soon as it touched the water
I've seen similar things but with plums. Bass will go after just about anything in the right situations.
Reminds me of the "mojo" rig. I take 2 bobber stops and put a small 5/16 oz bullet weight or 1/8 oz in between. Adjust the weight to whatever distance above the soft plastic. Finesse worms on a 1/0 ewg work good. You could use whatever bait really.
Mojo rig is another name for it. Same thing as far as I know.
@@LowBrowFishing Yep! It works great!
That one is a must try.. I know for a fact the Waco rig works
I think you'll really like it!
Great confirmation.. I literally just thought of doing this a few days ago. Now that I saw your video, I know that it is a great idea. Not sure why I never thought of it. Takes the place of having multiple worm rods set up for different styles. Great information as always. Love your channel. Thank you sir.
I'm happy you liked it!
Great to hear you talk about gut hooking. I close all of my barbs no matter what application i am using . I absolutely hate gut hooking a fish. A good removal tool works well with closed barbs as well.
I would much rather lose a hook than have a fish die on me. I try to avoid it at all costs!
I fish a lake that is NOTHING but grass, Lilly Pads and weeds. These things are 5 to 6ft tall. How do you fish that type of situation, where skies are sunny, temperature is about 75 degrees, in the middle of a low pressure system, and water clarity is only about six inches, or would you fish a drop shot or swim bait? Let me add water temperature is about 55-65 degrees, it's a spring fed lake.
For something like that, I'll probably turn to a topwater frog to start. A bladed jig can also work very well as they come through weeds better than guys give them credit for. Swim jigs are also a great options.
Funtime fishing 🎣 good show
Thanks so much for watching!
It's hard to keep up with all these new fangled and fancy gadgets you kids come up with these days.
There sure does seem to be a lot more stuff for fishing than there used to be!
Shhh about the stupid tube 🤫😉
Haha! It is a great setup!
A Carolina rig is one of my favorite techniques for water in the 10 to 30 foot range. You are right about gut hooking fish with it though. Gotta be careful about that.
Agreed! Always have to be careful!
Missile bombs d bait😂
Haha! I was a bit excited from catching that fish!
I'm with Mrs. Lowbrow! Put a camera in a bait!!!
I'd love to be able to do that!
Thanks for more great tips! I much prefer dragging a big ole monster worm. Again, thank you!
Big worms for big bass! One of the best parts about summer bass fishing!
That's a nice setup. Looks easy to use. I can see where that would work.
It's very easy and works great!
I have a lot of very thick submerged milfoil and hydrilla, how does it do through thick vegetation?
It does great. The bullet weight slips through the slop and the bait is Texas rigged so it's about as weedless as it can get. You'll still feel the vegetation pulling on the weight, but you can just pop it through with no problem. Also you can keep a little slack in your line and just slowly raise your rod tip to pull the rig up and over any thick vegetation.
When it comes to the summer grind of bass fishing, which do you prefer: burning a crank or dragging a worm/jig?
@@LowBrowFishing me I slow drag a worm or a creature bait and a jig I let the fish tell me what they want
Thank you for this. My wife and I love fishing but we only have space for kayaks and definitely not the disposable income for electronics. I’m hopeful that your tips will help us be more productive in the limited time we have to get out on the water.
I'm happy you liked it! Thanks so much for watching!
So far they are shallow around rock in my river. I haven't gotten many around lay downs yet.
I love river fishing! Rocks and other hard structure can be very productive!
I will accept the challenge and let you know the results.
Awesome! I bet you'll do great!
I love your videos and watch every one of them and take your advice seriously. I bank fish only and although a lot of your videos are from a boat, your advice works from the bank. Keep them coming please!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Mindset is definitely very important! Thank you buddy!
How we think can really affect the outcome of what we do!
I do struggle changing lures! Thanks for more good information!
I struggle with it as well. Hopefully one day I'll get it sorted out, lol!
I’m still waiting for you to come to Texas and fish Lake Ivie. The lake is getting smaller every month.
I would love to fish a bunch of lakes in Texas. I've already had to cancel two vacation trips this year because I just don't have the spare time. One day soon!
Again, thanks for more good information! Appreciate you!
I appreciate your continued support!
More great tips buddy! Enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video on changing your mindset!
Thanks so much!
Make a check list Change your line Take time and tie good knots Check for Knicks in line Are my hooks sharpe Have fun sometimes the fish win
That's a great checklist!
Update from picayune, I caught 2 largemouth and one spot on a creme scoundrel. Had a blast. Thanks for the tips. Love the dollar bin at Walmart.
Good old Scoundrel is still a great worm!
Great video, you speak as your in the boat with us.. Thank you wisdom.
I really appreciate that! Thanks!
Great video, love throwing wacky rig. I’m going to try Neko rig. Thanks. Keep up the good videos.
I really think you'll like it!
Thank you for the detail! The water was clear to about 3 feet then got murky. I don’t think I have ever heard anyone else describe the conditions with that much detail. That is what helps me most.
I'm really happy you found it helpful!
Every time I try to force something it definitely doesn’t work very often. I totally get what you’re saying with topics. It makes it extremely challenging for sure. Love how honest you are about it! It can be such a tough catch 22.
As I'm sure you know, being content creator can teach us so much about bass fishing! It forces me to get outside my comfort zone and explore new techniques and learn all I can about bass patterns and behaviors!
It’s just my opinion from watching your videos and I think that your setting the hook just a little too fast. This frog might be getting the commitment that you normally get from other frogs you use so if you give the bass another second or two to swallow it then you might get better hook ups. Or maybe get a file and hit those hooks. Now I’m not a professional fisherman or anything I’m just an average guy that looks at things that should work but don’t I try to figure out why some solutions are simple some are just a mystery. So looking at frogs that are getting bites but keep getting off has to be one of three things. Frog is in the way so bend the hooks up, setting the hook too early and last not setting the hook hard enough using to soft a rod or the wrong kind of line for your setup making the setup too soft to really get a good hook set. I like your videos and this was just my opinion but yea it looked like you was a second or two too fast on setting the hook.
I bent the hooks out. I boiled it. I trimmed the tassles. I had fish swim off with it on multiple occasions. 20+ blowups and not one fish. I've never had a problem like that with any other frog I've ever used. And apparently, I'm not the only one. The Vega frog has a reputation for not hooking up. Wish I knew that before I bought it.
