Unrelated to the video but wanted to thank the Tim & Matt for teaching me that a predator fish is a predator fish when they are fired up and feeding on a school of bait fish. This past week I was able to catch my first saltwater fish without a guide applying the principles. Using a flouresnce swim bait on a jig head to stand out with a erratic retrieve I was able to catch two speckled trout. It wasn't much but it meant a lot to me that I was able to do it without a guide. Thanks again!
Just sitting down to learn about catching bass in the heat since it’s hot here in Florida, and came across this. Outstanding video. Very informative, and helpful from your vantage point. I really appreciate you taking the time to put everything into an 18 minute video. On a sidenote, I got a 6.1 pounder this week from a northern Florida lake, and it was hot and humid, but I caught him at 7:30 AM - Much appreciated stuff here.
Go where water is cooler..... rivers and creeks. Rapids under bridges. Colder oxygenated river water if u can't get into deep lake water. It's simple. Don't overcomplicate it.
From the bank the hard truth is find a pond. Lakes you have to find hidden spots that are not pressured as much usually. From the lake bank live bait is better than lures. Bluegill, Minnows, herring, shad ect. IMO.
That’s so cool that you went to the weighin for the high school championship, my nephew fished, and finished in the top 50, and had an amazing experience, and met so many pros and learned the depth of the industry.✊🎣✅
Love seeing that replay of the 8.8lber you caught earlier this year punching on Headwaters Tim! Love that lake! My first time there, first fish I caught was a 7.98lb postspawner on May 8th flipping a 5" Senko...
@tacticalbassin just saw this video and wanted highlight that those red arrows where you pointed to look for action were so helpful. Bifocals can’t hardly pick up where most casts land until the fish has been pulled far toward angler. Using these arrows for directly our attention certainly could help those like me to see where to focus and follow the action for learning. Thanks so much!
Looking for flipping and pitching heavy cover from the bank tip videos but can’t find much. I had to learn it myself and figured it out. I have a few videos on how I flip and pitch thick grass, cat tails, and tullies from the bank on public pressured ponds.
I always struggle catching numbers in the summer. Awesome video Im ready get out there and apply what I learned today. You and Matt are excellent teachers keep up the good work! 🎣🤘🏾
Tim, on down here on the north end of Ky Lake TVA is doing the slow drop to winter pool. The have moved off the shore, and we don’t have any grass, to the first structure/cover, which here is either brushpiles or boat docks.
I have worn out 4 frogs in last 2 months fishing heavy cover. I have land over 150 bass on different lakes beating the banks with heavy structure and shade pockets. Texas heat is no joke. High 90s and water temp on the 2 lakes I hit this weekend was 86 and 84.
Worn out 4 frogs in 2 months? What frogs are you using?? I have a spro poppin bronzeeye with 150+ largemouth on it over a couple years. You must be ON EM!!
July and August has always been the best fishing month for me. I consistently catch bigger fish in July/August than the pre-spawn and Spawning months! I guess it just plays into my fishing style better, IDK, good video Tim.
@@davidkavetsky2377 i caught a 5 and 7lb within the last week here in lake county Florida. Right off the little doc in my back yard. And it’s been blazing hot
Love you and Matt I nhave been a sub for several years . The info u guys is legit , I’m mostly a shallow fisherman located in N Al so i get the extreme heat and humidity we usually go early daylight till 11:00 -12:00-- some days late in the evening to dark we don’t night fish a lot just isn’t my deal , but love the frog bite , swim jig bite plus in current on pickwick and Wilson lakes the mid range 8- 10’bite can b good with DT 10 and 1/2 oz spinner bait or chatter wagon a bit offshore tell me what u think . Water , power aid lite is a must to keep the head in game in good ole Al in July lol
There are lots of docks on my home lake so thats usually where we focus on hot days... still seems to be difficult to catch numbers of fish though. It feels like larger groups of fish are off-shore on rock piles - I've had success catching them on spoons or blade baits. Fishing in the heat is definitely the hardest time of year for me but I'm going to keep working on it - thanks for the additional info!
“86.3 Tegrees” lol I’m just messing with ya! Love the channel! You guys don’t know how much you’ve improved my fishing and hurt my pockets lol! Keep the vids coming!
The summer to fall transition happens pretty quickly. As your overnight air temps drop, those fish start to move. We will do a video on this very topic soon.
I was out yesterday, they where destroying the popper all day in the shallows. I couldn’t believe it because I expected it to slow down after the sun came out. I just kept it close to the cover and it was magic, then what I couldn’t get with the popper I threw a chatterbait and picked up another couple 3lbers
I have a extra small ice chest/cooler to dip my wicker fishing shirt in. I’ll wet my sleeves or the shoulders and neck part of my shirt in that I’ve water. And it automatically drops my body temp way down.
We were at the championship too on the Chick. wish we could have seen ya! Enjoy your videos. my son's team competed in that tournament and finished in the top 50.
Love the topic but the NC lake I fish has few overhanging trees as the ground gives away. There are some laydowns that happen as a result but not many. When they designed the lake they cut trees down all around the lake about 10 yards from the shore. There is little vegetation as it is a highland reservoir that goes deep 10 feet from bank.. Finding the schools is the hard part as they suspend off the ledges. Lots of bait fish. Lake has nice ledges. No boat docks only bridges which supply any shade. Can you address these issues in future videos. Love what you and Matt do. Have learned a lot.
Good advice and this is the majority of how I like to fish on my lake and just out in general. Sun up and a few hours prior to dusk always produces the best for me. I am super fortunate to live in central Florida smack dab in the middle of the state, great fishing lakes are all around. Good luck and tight lines.
I have not had any problems catching with a Picasso dock rocket jig. Skipping it under cover and docks. It really like some of the fish are still spawning.
Just got into bass fishing out here and Arizona and man has it been hard to get any bass out here in the heat. I bank so the sun kills me, but honestly nothing feels better than just whipping the baitcaster around even if I don't get a fish. Just the nice calm water and the screaming sound of your reel as your bait goes flying out can't be beat.
As always tacticalbassin is on point! Are there any plans on returning to Oklahoma?? If so I would love to see y'all at lake konawa I promise you will not be disappointed.
Yesterday it was 106° in Southern California, Lake Perris. Surface temp was 86°. Fricken rough. Those fish were between 35-45 ft. No shallow bite. Grant you i had my wife and 2 small kids. It was more of a "getting them acclimated to the boat" Couldn't concentrate with a 4 and a 6 year old on the boat. At least we went out with the family.
Yeah but I can't wait till the FALL is upon US! IDK about anyone else but freaking JULY was dink city for me, almost nothing but young buck's. It's been too hot but more than that ,it's been too dry here in the Tennessee River Valley. Even at night only decent ones:/ . I am so STOKED to fish my new SB-105's so far the juvies have been crushing the SB. Thanks Tim and TB for that one.
It was really hot where I live but recently the past couple days, it has cooled off to the mid to high 70s. How will that effect the fish? Would dock fishing still be effective and fishing around weed beds still work? I assume it would right?
Its been nice and cool here in upstate NY in the 70s and low 80s but its been tought trying to catch bass.....i went out today fished for about 6 hourse and only caught 2 small bass
What if you fish a bowl lake?... nothing but soft bottom and few weeds along the edges, and only five docks. Deepest part 20'...I know they are there I caught several big ones in the fall.
How would you guys fish a small body of water with no grass just moss around the shore line and just generally no cover in late June and three July? I should add this is strictly a bank fishing body of water. Thanks for any advice I can get!!!
In the same boat. Here in north Texas fishing a nearby neighborhood lake and the night time bites are crazy. But during the day I don’t catch anything and neither does anyone else. Maybe 1 every 2 hours. I switch between frogs Texas rig worm and a drop shot and the worm and drop shot have been the most reliable. It’s extremely shallow (6 inches to 2-3 feet) for a good chunk of the lake up until a drop near the water fountain so I have no clue how to get them out and biting consistently. I’m probs going to try swim baits and chatterbaits soon.
I live in quebec canada and here there are not many largemouths so how do i catch more small mouths does this video apply to large and small mouth bass?
Is there anything your change further south where the water temps get into the mid 90's? I was fishing a lake here last weekend, and the surface temp was 95 degrees on 10' deep flat, dropping to about 92 degrees in the 25-30' deep section.
I have the hardest time remembering to set the hook when I feel nothing. I'm pretty sure I've lost a ton of bass thinking my lure was just free from the grass😭
Easy, lol I went kayak fishing Friday caught one 4 pounder, did a lot of swearing and thought I was gonna die of a heatstroke lol, not easy but worth it!!
How deep does the water need to be for the fish to setup in the shade? Wil they stay in 1ft of water at 88 degree surface temp just to be in some shade?

That is awesome! Nice work Jacob!!
Who else thinks Matt and Tim should fish a tournament together and post a vid about it? Would be epic!!!
I 45th that! Hahaha
They would win I'm sure
Too much nonsense. They are already winning with what they do now.
That would be epic, I think they would do good! I'd say they have already done this in Cali. But be fun to post vid bout it.
1000% agree

Everyone talks about how to catch bass when you have a bass boat but never how to catch bass from the bank
True from bank just find hidden spot
Keep walking the bank with swimbaits until you get a bite - then stop and pick it apart.
Go where water is cooler..... rivers and creeks. Rapids under bridges. Colder oxygenated river water if u can't get into deep lake water. It's simple. Don't overcomplicate it.
You’re watching a 2 year old video. I’ve seen plenty of bank fishing videos from big name UA-camrs in the past month
From the bank the hard truth is find a pond. Lakes you have to find hidden spots that are not pressured as much usually. From the lake bank live bait is better than lures. Bluegill, Minnows, herring, shad ect. IMO.
This is probably one of the best videos Iv seen for finding bass in the heat so far. Thanks so much!
That’s so cool that you went to the weighin for the high school championship, my nephew fished, and finished in the top 50, and had an amazing experience, and met so many pros and learned the depth of the industry.✊🎣✅
It was really cool meeting so many high school anglers from across the country.
I needed this video, lord it's been tough lately with the heat and water temp
Real tough!!!
This channel needs 10 million subscribers! Hands down one of the best!
Thanks for being out there and sharing with us
Love the videos guys, me and my bride are working hard to learn how to catch these BASS. All these videos help. Keep it up

I love the summer, Texas rigged weightless soft plastics is all you need.
Mid 90s !! Must be nice. Running 110 here in west texas right now
Factor in 100 percent humidity, and it's just as brutal as 110 dry heat, actually worse

As a new newbie fisherman I appreciate the videos you guys make! Keep it up!
Will skipping a fluke style under the overhang trees work to?
Great video and great advice! I caught the biggest Bass of my life today in a shallow warm river.
Used a hula popper under a shade tree.
Awesome video. This should help me with the summer bank fishing hopefully

Love breaking out a sweat for some summer bass!! haha
Only go out in the middle of the night during the summer. That's the only way to go!
The water you drinks after is the best

Thanks for all the information. Your videos are great.
How about California lakes with no vegetation on any shore line. Just some rock or submerged stems from bushes no grass or pads?
I would try any type of shade then. Fishing docks etc. If there is no shade then deeper water.
You guys are awesome! Followed these tips and hit some bass last night (almost 90 degrees). Great content!!

obvi it isnt arizona or texas, but it's been really hot these past few weeks in chicago. this was a great video
Great tips awesome channel keep up the good work
In Florida the weedless frogs over the lillypads catches bass almost year round. Especially since its hot 90% of the year
Another good bunch of Info Tim! Did you guys do a video of why you left the "Bass Factory" and came east? Just curious, Thanks again!
As always tacticalbassin is on point! Are there any plans on returning to Oklahoma?? If so I would love to see y'all at lake konawa I promise you will not be disappointed.
So I’m assuming bass will swim through heavy grass and brush? Like pushing their head through to get to small shaded opening?
87 degrees here on Douglas Lake, Dandridge TN today.
94 degree water temp on Lake Havasu last week. Still found some super shallow with the kayak but they were really spooky.
91 degree water temp and been smoking them shallow on a frog and buzzbait! 💪🎣
So I fish Chickamauga and I heard rumor that yall were here. I would love to meet you guys

Great video Tim!
Thank you for this video guys!!!!
Thanks for another great vudeo
Feels great in East Tennessee right now tho How would you approach that weather change
How far is that bank from you? And a better question. How far away do you keep the boat from the area you're fishing?
Nice Rod&Reel suggestions, an Expride (200€) with a Methanium (400€) on top. 🤣🤣 Tim you are magical 🥳🥳
Those are what we really use. But don't miss that 4th combo... its there for the guy who doesn't want to spend every penny on his gear 👍

7:54 - is that a bass that spooked and created that cloud in the water (just to the right of him)?!
Silt/muddy bottom stirred up by his trolling motor.

Awsome video! Great tips
Do you take into account where the thermogenesis is and how does it play into your decision where to fish
When using baits like the California swim jig how do you cast into heavy cover without getting hung up?
The state of Massachusetts barely has any bass my water gets to cold for them also my Rivers has more pike and common carp
I live in quebec canada and here there are not many largemouths so how do i catch more small mouths does this video apply to large and small mouth bass?
only 50%
Probably a dumb question, but does bait color matter during low light conditions? like at the end of the day when the sun is going down, Thanks.
I go a lake where there’s no trees close by and I don’t have a boat to do deep fishing so do I use a heavy rig?
Did you see at 7:58 the huge squid 🦑 that surfaced ?
Not a squid 😂😂
🔥🔥 hot summer time fishing,great job Tim,did I miss the night time or is there one coming??
"86 tagrees", "bankth" yeah its hot out there😅. Thanx for the knowledge.
Is there anything your change further south where the water temps get into the mid 90's? I was fishing a lake here last weekend, and the surface temp was 95 degrees on 10' deep flat, dropping to about 92 degrees in the 25-30' deep section.
You guys should do a podcast.... PLEASE!
86... That's it... Wow... I'd kill for that right now... 94 on the lake we fish our Wednesday tourneys on last week
New to fishing channels. Assuming this is Matt, what is Tim’s channel?
I have the hardest time remembering to set the hook when I feel nothing. I'm pretty sure I've lost a ton of bass thinking my lure was just free from the grass😭
how am i supposed to fish a lake with no little islands like this? Arizona lakes are hard pressed to have this set up
Would LOVE to see you guys make a video on pitching properly without ruining your elbow.
Thanks.
New sub. Liked 👍🌞😊
the number 1 thing ive learned from all the videos, i need a boat :(
a kayak is a little more affordable and can get you in some tight spaces, I love fishin from mine
@@zacharyallen671 you know, i looked up the kayak that they use, 4k eek. but yea i have an inflatable one that i never use
@@LycaonsMemories yea the kayak they use is nice, but way out of my budget 😂
Easy, lol I went kayak fishing Friday caught one 4 pounder, did a lot of swearing and thought I was gonna die of a heatstroke lol, not easy but worth it!!
How deep does the water need to be for the fish to setup in the shade? Wil they stay in 1ft of water at 88 degree surface temp just to be in some shade?
Yes. I've seen big bass in less than 12" of water in 96 degree water because that tiny shade pocket against shore was the only relief.
Every time I throw this set up with a bullet weight I end up cleaning grass off my rig. Am I doing something wrong? Thx in advance
