Summer time is here, longer fishing hours hot temperatures and sluggish bass.

Some techniques on summer fishing and the effect the longer day light effects bass ?

that means darker lures for bass because of the sun light but if its dark out use a lighter colored lure or worm

Alright Athony, use a HUGE topwater swimbait. Thats all u need

yeah that would work also what about a buss bait

Well, when ur using a buzzbait, to work it right you have to reel it fast. Will a big swimbait you can deadstick it.

good point

I got question in a pond what do u think would work if trying to catch a bass like what lure would work best for bass

3-4 inch curl-tail grub

what color also would a shad typed lure work as good

green, red

If its not in a shad color

what else would u use for bass

r u there

Hi Peter,

Have a look at some of these articles, I think they might help get you started:

thanks for them tips but what if you are fishing for bass on land how would you catch one

it depenends on where u are fishing,pond or lake or river, what kind of cover is there, but if u dont know and are going 2 a new unknown spot take a 1-/lite texas rig worm
2-/fluke
3-/small crankbait

If u go to the bass reports Bassaholic caught an 8 pounder when casting out 15 feet

try split-shotting, its a deadly Socal technique

I was beside Brendan and watched him do it not once but twice from shore.

I also caught a 4 lber on a topwater swimbait from shore

Nunz what where you doing "BEDSIDE" near Brendan.

LOL beside ok funny man. Where were you Thursday night? It was a slug fest at Upper Mills in the night tournament.

say you where on land bass fishing in a pond what would u use

Depends on the time of the year. This time of the year it is Jig time. I perfer to fish from a boat though. Early spring is when shore fishing is the most desirable. It is just easier with it getting dark early and not having to deal with the boat.

hey we go camping a lot and there is a pond in campground we go to and some people caught some big bass so i want to give it try soon in the summer what would be the best lure to use for bass they also have bass tournements down there maybe you can be in it

If there is cover near by I would go with a black n Blue jig with a black trailer. If no cover you can go with the good ole Sienko. Worms also work great. What are the chararistics of the lake or pond. What is the name of it? I'll take a look and give you suggestions. Spinnerbaits and topwater in morning and dusk also work wonders. Alot of variables. For instance last week I fished a night tournament and wieghed in just under 15 pounds for five fish. The tournament was only 4 hours. Started at 7 and ended at 11. I caught them on the jig, a Spinnerbait after dark and top water.

.... Should he bring a Ladder?

The shoreline is my favorite place to fish. I know a lot of guys are addicted to boats but for me, I'm most comfortable on the shoreline.

And when you fish the shoreline at a big lake like Castaic, there are tons of spots to explore. And if you fish it right you can do pretty good from the shore. Plenty of big ones come in within casting range when the water is warm.

Especially early in the AM, and dusk till dark.

all i know is it is near the potomac river

what about when the bass are suspended? dropshot, crankbait, what?

I'd go with spinnerbaits-they catcth fish-at any depth and don't snag easily. Bank fishing you can lose some good lures when you snag. Good luck. Johnnie
