Hot Summer Bass Fishing Techniques and Gun Shots
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- It's been a hot summer already here in Texas. With almost no wind, and high humidity, bass fishing on this day was tough. We arrived at the lake around 10AM, but there were still a few topwater bass active when we got there. Somebody must have been shooting at a snake or a beaver or something, because there were some random gun shots that were pretty close. Not my first time having bullets fly around the boat in east Texas...
The shad were mostly suspended just a few feet below the surface, staying above the thermocline. The best pattern was fishing an old road bed with crankbaits. The road had some old big trees along the side of it that were holding most of the bigger bass. This was a typical tough summer bass fishing day in Texas that calls for a variety of techniques to bring numbers of bass in.

Shane is killing it
Man. Once again another great video from the lakeforkguy. I do believe there is never a better place to spend time with a friend then on the water ripping lips. You are an insperation to all young fishermen growing in this sport. Keep up the good work in showing what gods great creation can bring on your next adventure. Tight lines brother.
that sound of tight bread rubbing against line guides - amazing
I'm happy to know I'm not the only one to bust out some Cool Runnings every once in a while. Enjoyed the video Justin. Keep em coming please!
Good ole East Texas Summer fishing, Hot!
y'all boys are killing them!
Ole boy was pulling fish!
Great tips for summer bassin
8:11 It's bobsled time! Good movie.
Lake nacaniche. Awesome awesome lake there boys. I live in Troup Texas about an hour from this lake it’s 1 of our favorite lakes out here. Big bass dream lake
great video thks
Top water is legit the best thing ever nothing like it :)
Awesome video!!
Whaaaat?! New lake. Wow. Super cool. You should try 50# braid to 30 or 25# fluo. Or 50 or 65 braid to berkely vanish 30# or less fluorocarbon. That water is super clear and vanish will be clear as day underwater. Just something from the bay area boy. Excited you're having fun. I'll be having fun in 7 hours at Paradise Lake in California. Seeya
Thanx for the video you are a huge inspiration for me thank you
I would love to get on that lake
dang that seems like a really fun place to fish
1000 likes to 3 dislikes? Holy shit!!! Awesome job with the videos lately man!
Top water is my favorite bait and swim bait are my favorite summer bait
Top water all day, always believed in it and did a video on it. Well it works. - Scott.
This thumbnail is intense.
lake fork is awsomee
Great video!
Great video!! Do you have a drone now?
Submerged road beds were probably constructed mostly of stone/gravel. These hide all types of little creatures and crawfish. Might be why you find bass there.
taking a guess....Lake Naconiche ? sort of look familiar, how bad were the red wasps.....Great Video !!
As a native Texan your vids are much better than perics and his big ole schnoz!!!
Lol Shane is killing you, good vid thou
can you comment ill be so happy !!
+Arnulfo Casillas #happydance
+LakeForkGuy omg !!! i am so happy !!
Nice video man
Justin you gotta try out the THKO Wake Baits. Trey Harpel is the man! They produce Giants. As always awesome video bro!! Btw, Hook Em Horns!! 😈😈
+Ricky Creason thanks for the info, I'll look at em for sure

Who wins the sunglasses??
Just to double check it is better to fish deep down than on top when it's hot unless your in sticks or weeds like you guys are right
At least in texas, during the summer the surface water gets too hot to hold enough oxygen for the fish to be able to breathe. There is usually a thermalcline in 6-12 feet of water where the water cools significantly and regains its ability to hold oxygen. Most big fish will suspend or hold to structure in that zone. Some will move shallow to feed at dawn/dusk. Also, grass generates oxygen. If bass stay shallow they tend to stay close to grass or current which stirs the water and helps oxygen saturation. Hope that helps somewhat.
+XDM Stranger thx I was just wondering cuz I went fishing during the day today and was only catching bass near the land which had shade land I wasn't catching any deep out in the sun so I was just checking if it was that they like shade better
Technically during hot days bass are either deep or in the weeds because weeds hold oxygen, but some bass don't go by the textbook and hang to lay downs and brush piles
+Thomas Sorice shade is definitely better because it keeps the water cooler and it's easier for the fish to feed in. Think of driving into the bright sun without sunglasses. Sunshine will position fish deeper and on the shady side of cover. I have a few spots I usually save for about 8:30 am if it's going to be sunny because the shade gets right.
+XDM Stranger ok that's what I thought so I'm probably gonna be going early in the morning
Man havent been up to that lake since February. But looked like yall hit the brush piles that is on that 2nd road bed pretty hard.
+Robert Morton we had never been there but it did look like there were some piles there. I'd like to fish it at night and see what happens
+LakeForkGuy oh your have a blast. when you leave the ramp to head to the road bed there a cove just to left. there's a house up on hill but they have a bright light up at the water. had some good luck there when its dark
god i would love to fish a lake with timber like that
you guys are lucky because I dont have a boat or fishing pole to fish
This looks like Lake Palestine! I have fished there with family.
yah that is lake nacadech
New angler question here : when using a crank bait in the wooded area (lots of dead wood - no moss) my friends say not to use that bait because you got too caught up on the wood down below that you cant see, and therefore, start loosing a lot of $.
My questions are: What was the actual name of that crank bait and where can I guy them?
Did you use any data or information on the water you fished or had you fished it before so you knew the ins-and-outs of the areas?
Last but not least, how did you not get caught up a million times using any type of crank bait in that wooded water...I've got to know how you did it. Great Job, bro!!!
Paul R Balnius I use square bill crankbaits, they bounce off of what ever they hit. a lot less hangups.
Really makes me miss living in Texas watching you fish there. Can always count on you doing a stellar video with lots of tips and informative breakdown of the fishing techniques. Each video gets better and love the overlays as well as you smelling the bass. Fish on!
You should sell shirts that say "Winston is my spirit animal" and a picture of his face on the front, and then your logo on the back.
+Jesse Flowers haha, too funny
+LakeForkGuy is that lake ray hubbard?
it looks like lake nac
I caught an 8 on the other arm of the lake by the bridge
Oh yea!
Probably be on the lookout for LunkersTV out shootin!
Thanks for putting your baits in the comments!!! Getting back into fishing after 20+ years. That braid is a life saver.
The road bed graphic was amazing. Very informative and I would love to see other tips and tricks shown like that. Two thumbs up!
+I appreciate that, thank you Joe Colwell
Was this your boat LFG?
when will you fish lake conroe it's got some big fish
So I fished today (se KS) lots of tress like that, it was 100 outside and water temp 90!!! Caught some on rattle traps no luck with any plastics, water anywhere from 5-30 feet, didn’t think about 🐸, advice?
Have you ever fished canyon lake?
Lakeforkguy are you going to post the video with Lawson Lindsey?
I caught my personal best there in the old road bed
Im so addicted to bass fishing now and I just started to get into this style of fishing!
As always great video!
Goose fish at 3:53
Good to see you on Naconiche!!! That little lake is something special
What was that western song? Reminded me of Quentin tarantino
+I dunno, it was hot as heck and reminded me the desert Idiot Vs Fish
when are u be going back to Douglas Lake ?
was that lake fork if so then i am going to go there immediately
+Im Clarityy no it's a smaller lake a few hours from there. A lot of lakes look similar to this in east Texas though
do u have the name of the boat ramp you launched at by chance
Im Clarityy only one boat ramp! Lake naconiche
Great Video! Justin, had a question, what type of Rod and Reel was Shaine using? Thanks in advance for the info. *TIGHT LINES*
why is there a road bed in the lake? do you know how old that lake is? that seems really cool!
Ty Palfi very new lake! Opened in 2010 I️ believe
Did anyone else hear the reel crying at 3:53
Are you at Joe pool lake and thank for entertaining me
You don't need Brad because I caught a 7 pound bass and 5 ounces
Hey Justin, I don't know much about thermocline layers because I'm not too experienced in lake fishing, but do you actually see the layer on the graph or are you just telling based on what depth the fish are at? Also is fishing above the thermocline better or below better?
+Tyler Christy you can see the layer on the graph. It's always better above. I have a video coming soon where I talk about it
the only other shaine I know spelt that way!
What's that crank bait @ 3:07 ? great video btw
At least you didn't catch flair size fish...
have u ever fish Douglas lake tn
+Yes I have Jaxson Willis
Man that first angle was perfect I was stuck watching your electronics for a good couple minutes. Great video!!
Man you make me jealous every time I watch one of your videos. You have been such a inspiration and very helpful with you videos. Great job and keep fishing.
one of my favorite vids you have made

Lake naconiche
Hey I wanna fish with you over in east Texas. Ever herd of lake Cherokee? Over in Longview
I love your videos man, they have really improved my skills and knowledge of bass fishing and have helped me hall others about bass fishing. Keep up the great work.

+thanks, it's been fun getting the shots Ellis1068
Hey man love the awesome videos. What would u recommend to use in combination with a spinnerbait for grassy lakes?
+BigTexBuck 20 7'MH on high speed reel with 30lb braid
+LakeForkGuy Thanks for the advice. Keep doin what you are doin and God Bless.
What lake were you guys fishing?
PENNSYLVANIA CANOE BASS FISHING in my latest vid! Check it out!

Hey Justin really enjoying your videos. I love how the quality of your videos seems to be getting better and better thanks bro and keep
Up the awesome job man!!!!
LakeForkGuy I have a challenge for you Come to NC and fish Belews Lake with me! hardest fishing you've ever done!
If he added 17 more seconds he could’ve made more money off of this video
If you don't mind spilling some dirt, what lake would this be? I'm an East Texas boy myself and would love to get on that lake!
God that looks like bass fishing paradise. All that wood structure, stumps, lilly pads. Don't got that kinda timber in our lakes up north in NY.
Tell me about it. Ny is hard for bassin
PA isn't a whole lot better
where in northern ny? I've found a few nice lakes but nothing like this.
+HD Blitzy well I live in Long Island but I have a house in northern ny
+Andrew Vinci Outdoors ah, I see
I love the ready to poop stance from the gun fire! keep up the good work your channel rocks!
Folks at home folks at home
What lake were you on
Is that lake Niconache or however you spell it
Big Bass Adventures yes
what lake is this and have you ever been to lake Sam Rayburn
How did the water get that high. Was it an old road and got flooded. I tried looking it up but I never understood why there are so many trees and apparently roads in Texas lakes. I live in Florida so I'm clueless.
+2puglife 99.9 percent of our lake are man made here so we can flood low areas and take the roads, bridges and all those good trees and cattle ponds along with it
+LakeForkGuy thanks
Is it bad if you use braid all the time? I use braid all the time for everything, i get bout the same bite as my buddy who uses flouro even on finicky fish. May just be the body of waters i fish idk. Just curious.
Are you going back to kayak fishing or boat
+Kaiden Langatau both
That leaning way back tippy toe hook set kills me every time.
which lake was this video shot at
lmao I just got back from fishing at stillhouse lake in central tx and heard gunshots just like that today and flipped shit. haha funny how i watch this today right after this just happened to me. just when you think you where in a peaceful environment then bam a gunshot haha
question for you LakeForkGuy. I had 3 rods snap on me so far this year, Shimano Sojourn, KVD quantum, and can't remember the third. $50 dollars isn't being the bank but it's a pain to see them break. question is, what type rods do you use?
Hey can I get those glasses plz
when you are on the lake, what do you do when you have to pee?
