BEAT THE HEAT

Largemouth bass fishing at the end of summer can be challenging for a number of reasons. Forage is on the move. There’s too much rain…or not enough. The water is gin clear. But the biggest culprit is usually the fact that water and air temperatures are still high.

Fish seek comfort in late-summer when the heat is on, but not all bass do so in the same way. It never hurts to give the fish a variety of options until they tell you where they are and what they want.

Having a general plan for doing so as efficiently as possible will save time on good days and cut down on the number of slow days on the water this time of year.
