- Bass Fishing, especially in the summer can be tough. Here are three rigs that I use all summer long to catch them when they won't bite anything else.

took my kid out on my Lil Jon boat and seen a nice nitro and said some day buddy we can fish like that, and he replied, we don't need that boat dad I just like being with my dad, almost cried. your a inspiration gene keep it up love ur content, and ur attitude ur a cool cat
Thanks Frank, It's all about making memories with your kids. They don't care what you float in. My boys love going out in their kayaks as much as bank fishing and fishing in my boat. It don't matter.
NicheMe calm down lol
Amazing u raised him right !!!!
Lil Jon
That's great dude same way I feel with my dad
Ok so I was having the worse day fishing, I mean 3 hours in the 107 degree Arizona heat and not one bite. I put down my rod searched UA-cam and came across your video. I was already setup Carolina rig with a shad but I switched up my technique and started dragging it on the bottom really super slow. What the hell man 2nd cast I caught a 3lb talapia! 😂😂😂 Thanks for your advise it definitely works! 👍🏾 I just subscribed to your channel.
That’s awesome. Congratulations
"I'm going to pick a worm that matches with the water color" .... *picks up neon pink worm* Haha keep up the awesome vids!
By matches i think he meant color match intensity with water clarity
Pinks the color. Crush em with it.
By the time I got done tying my FG knot the season was over....
Lmfaooo
I feel you dude!!!
I felt this lmao
It's rough out here right now. Did catch some pumpkin seed and some spot today thoughh
5:30 damn that kid was happy that he got nominated for finding the rock pile
Your son was snagged there for a long time I was laughing so hard 😂👌🏾
same i was just watching him for the whole vid
me to lol
DaNkEsT mEmEs I allmost past out lol
👍🏻
@Stacy Lynn Sutherland lol usually is. I always feel like a dope when it happens to me and it happens more than I would like to admit lol. The kid is gonna be a bass master when he grows up. I'm so glad he takes him out and is teaching him how to be a great fisherman. Fishing not only feeds you but your soul as well. It is the most relaxing and rewarding sport there is.
This was very helpful! Thanks man
Hi LOJO
Love ur vids LOJO
LOJO sorry
Yo yak pak
Love it when I see guys taking their kids out, for me I enjoy watching my kids catch one at least as much as catching one myself.
Thanks Caleb and you are correct
Me: *accidentally gets line caught on a floating tree stump*
Dad: *yells at me and says* DO YOU WANT TO FISH OR NOT?
Me: *crying inside*
*this helped tho*
This might be the most straight to it, informative, and yet still entertaining fishing video I’ve ever seen. Excellent content man!
I was thinking the same thing.
Hi Gene, I don't ever subscribe or comment on peoples UA-cam Video's but I think you are doing so much to the fishing community. There are so many fishermen that hide their techniques or baits and lures. You explain everything down to the line size. It is so awesome to see the passion you have for this sport and more so the enthusiasm you have to teach it to others. I am inspired to fish as much as I can because of your videos. I live in Illinois, Chicago area where the fishing is damn tough. But I still try your techniques. I am always listening to see what your using and how your using it. I would love to see a video on Frogs. I am always hearing how people catch monster bass on Frogs.
Recently started bass fishing in South FL and had not been able to catch a damn thing. Started watching your videos on fishing from the bank and using the tex-posed Texas rig, went out this morning and caught 5 little guys and 2 decent sized fish. Cannot thank you enough for the videos! Keep 'em coming!
Gene you forgot my new favorite this year..... The Ned Rig!!! Caught 12 today here in DE and it was 96 degrees.
Russell Sands hey man I know the videos 2 years old but I’m from Delaware too. What part of the state are you from?
Look, these videos are helpful and the way you teach and explain is a lot better than most. I liked and subscribed.
I needed to see this for sure. Man with temps being in the 100's all month fishing has got tough.
great video...and great advice. I always feel like the bite is tough so having this array of finesse and slow techniques is very useful. THANKS!
I want to say thank you for the tips I have been skunked for three days then watched the how to work the grass u tube video and used that idea and nailed and landed three large mouth bass in a local pond your information about the subject is amazing thank you again
These tip videos for Summer Fishing is so helpful when you're fishing in Georgia on ponds/lakes when it's 95-100 degrees out during the day and 90 degrees til 8 at night. Thanks man
I'm glad i can help
good to see you out with your boy
Thank you so much, honestly helped me out. And I was able to catch the biggest fish I’ve ever caught!
Awesome video Flukemaster, super helpful tips. Thinking I've been working my dropshots too fast after watching your vid. Also, agree 100% with the carolina rig being good for finicky fish. Sometimes thats all i can get em to hit.
Gene, thank you so much for the advice. I appreciate the time you spend explaining different concepts to guys like me that are new to bass fishing.
Thanks to you, I am a true believer in the Carolina rig AND when the shad are bustin, I LOVE that lipless crank bait (rattle traps baby!). I never thought I would get bit on a lipless crank, but I took your advice and fished it all day until I got a bite. Now I won't go the lake without one. I am now also a true believer in the miracle of the Wacky Senko too.
This is my first year targeting bass, and boy it can have its ups and downs for sure, so any tactics I can learn about those tough days are much appreciated. Right now I am in a cold weather slump, and can't figure it out. I will try the drop shot on some 6 lb and see if that does the trick. THANKS AGAIN!
Carolina Rig all the way!
Brother, you make the fg knot look like childsplay...Man...it is tough for me. Stunning to see a pro do it. Great video, very relevent, even after 6 years. Thanks Gene.
i literally watched this video and went fishing!! did exactly what you said but i rigged 1/8oz texas rig grande bass worm and i landed two four pounders in less than 3 cast!!!! thanks for the tips Flukemaster!!! its guys like you that keep me motivated!! THANK YOU for your service and for what you do for us!!!
That's awesome Barry, Congratulations
Non related subject, thanks to you and your videos I started flipping a jig for the first time a few months ago , usually never had luck but I didn't have a clue how tbh, and today I did like you said a committed to the lure all morning 😏hooked 2 landed one 3lb+ but gotta say the heavy rod and line setup needed recommended is a game changer like first catch all over again it hits different 💯regardless THANK YOU FLUKEMASTER!!!!
Gene, I have enjoyed your videos since I discovered you on youtube. Keep up the good work promoting bass fishing.
Good to see your kid out with you.. I love the Carolina rig that what I catch most of fish now in hot Southwest Florida. Keep the videos coming.
lol at the son hung up in the background haah
Poor bastard.
ikr
+Brandon Stinson his dad's right there...
Your taking the term bastard too literally.
Lol
great video Gene very informative thanks for sharing I will be trying these tips out tomorrow!!
Awesome videos very informative keep up the great work
Love your videos man you've shown me a lot I didn't know , thanks and keep it up 👍
Your videos are great man, always enjoy them.
8:00 you can hear that fish flopping on the boat. You know that boy has nervous hands and that’s why dads laughing 😂
Awesome vid. I live in Alabama so when you say tough bite I know exactly. I normally fish a jig on the bottom in about 10-25 feet of water. Carolina rig always works, though. Thanks Gene, you're the man.
Thanks for the great tips. I went fishing today and did not catch a thing. I hoping for some better luck tomorrow, using these tips,
Love the video. Glad you made this one. I'm in Florida near Tampa and I've been spending 3+ hours fishing and maybe catch 1 bass when I'm use to catching 5-6+... Also I love the way you ended this video. Show you yourself fishing with your son, teach and mentoring him. OUTSTANDING!!!! Keep up the good work Gene, love learning from you. Tight Lines
Thanks Anthony
nice catch Jordan! Let me know when you start your own UA-cam channel and give Dad some competition!
Gene I noticed the same thing. I switched from straight 10 pound fluorocarbon to 6 pound fluorocarbon leader years ago and Bam fish on in the hot slow summertime days! Summertime I usually fish deep but this works really well for fish that are still up shallower in the staging areas.
I understand its probly the same thing but can you do a updated version of your shakey head video??

Shut up whitey
KG and lojo must work
Great video ty can't wait to try it
I go out fishing with my best fishing buddy like this too, really enjoyed watching you fish with your son. He's going to be out fishing you soon.
Thanks for the video. Ill have to give the Carolina rig a try.
These last two videos are terrific. Thanks Gene.
You're welcome.
Thanks. With our 90 degree water and sizzling hot temps these are about all I use now, but they do work. Tight lines!
You're welcome
What a great video. Little man is killing it
Best kinda fishing you can do when you can spend time with your boy. I love to fish with my son.
fished a jon boat tournament on the hill yesterday. the bite was tough!!! think 6 boats ended up with 10 fish for the day. but the spinner bait and slow rolling a lipless crank got me and my partner the most fish only landing one bass (perch and something HUGE got off) near the most western part of the lake. but was fun and the first tournament i have ever fished so thank you for introducing my to bass fishing and teaching me something.
first
Nice shirt
I really like your how to videos
Dang u beat all of us i wonder how it's not like u posted the video or anything😂
what is your intro song called
Dang it😂
Nice teamwork with you and your son, Gene. thx for the tips
Thanks Art
Great video! Jordans the man keep up the great work
I used to live in Florida, went fishing with my neighbor, we went out on his fishing boat with some of his family, they were experts at fishing, I guess, anyways I had caught some fish earlier and the day and the sun was starting to set, we then chose a spot by a dock, he taught me a trick to know if the fish was biting, put your finger over the string almost pressing against the fishing pole but not touching the pole, we put some shrimp on but after 10 minutes, of casting I got a little pull on the string and pulled back on the rod, that engaged a, what felt like a 15 minute fight with a fish I had to trade off the pole with the guy that brought me fishing, the strongest one there, and we handed it back and forth, this thing was a MONSTER redfish, like 3 feet in length, the reason I go fishing is for the fight, and to have conversations with whoever I’m with, but I moved to Kansas, I have NEVER for 4 years had a fish that gave a fight like that, a few times, with that first yank, they just flew out of the water, hopefully I can get a fight, because bass are big, I guess, thanks for the info, hopefully I’ll get a nice fight
Great video great fishing tips brother!!!👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome tips. Thanks once again!
Fluke good to see u fishing with ur kids, mostly now i dont see anyone young fishing and i thank my father for teaching me and many young ppl sit around on their phones doing nothing thanks for the video
great video gene keep up the hard work man
Ya boy was on it with that net 🎣🎣
I just learned how to set up a Carolina rig yesterday thanks to your videos.
Great video Gene, Thanks for the tips going tomorrow!
Good luck
Really love those concept reels!
Just started fishing again after years and years, (mostly salt water...) Went to the lake and realized I needed advice. Your videos are very well done and helpful. I do have some questions about jargon. Things like "sinker" and "Carolina Rig", "shakers" seem kind of self explanatory, but it would probably be a helpful video for a basic fishing lingo video (you may have one...haven't searched yet...) I was also looking at one of the tournament sites and it listed ranking 15:41 or ?? (not that I'm ready for a tournament...)
Thanks again for your helpful videos. All the best!
Great videos brotha. Keep me coming! My sons are both older now and we don’t get to fish together as often as we once did when they were younger so enjoy these days sir. Only other thing I’d have to say is we need to get you a Florida Gators hat. I’d say use that Georgia hat as bait but I don’t think the fish would bite. 🤣
Good video and great tips! Tight lines!
I love the father son fishing. Great video!
Im glad you made this cus this summer fishing is kicking my butt
yeah same
same ive been averaging one gish per day
+TarHeelsFan23 xx I have a health issue, so I stay out of the heat. If I can get out during this time of the year, I'll go at night when I can fish relatively comfortably and most of the time there's no traffic on the water. If I get tired, I just anchor and kick back and relax. Makes my trip a lot more enjoyable. You can rest a while and then go back fishing. A little hour nap and your attitude is better, also.
whee. me too bubba! haven't caught but 4 bass. spent more money and time on gas and walking around than anything lol it could be different if I had a boat and sonar! then I could see what if anything actually in the water, depth, temp all that necessary stuff! hahaha oh well
Hooper_c4 yes, a boat changes your fishing abilities a bit, but it also becomes a pit to throw money into. There's always something you need to fix or replace and with gas prices you can spend a lot more than you realize. You can pick or choose just about any place you want to go, but I'd make sure you had someone going with you to help split expenses. You generally can count on at least doubling your fuel cost for a weekend, if not more.
Very helpful. I have a 6 acre lake that I built and during the summer the bite gets tough. I already used your advice to fish a soft plastic snake during the summer and caught fish. Also, great to see your son with you.
Awesome man, Congrats
That boy's probably a better fisherman than most of us watching this video! I love it! I think you're channel has great continuity after you decide to quit!
Excellent video!!
Great vid. I always learn something here
nice tutorial , thanks , what kind of hook you were using ?
Awesome video man
Great video! Just made my day!
Where we fish for bass summer gets to be really tough... We will try those tips. Thanks for your videos
I can cut line with my teeth really well, but I got ridiculously sick one day from some nasty pond water. I was in bed for 3 days straight, my kidneys hurt from severe dehydration, and everything I ate or drank came out as liquid from both ends. As soon as I was able to drag myself to the store I bought some nice line cutters.
That totally sucks man.
Great stuff, I'm so used to the Texas rig that I stubbornly stay with it. Tomorrow I shall use the Carolina rig...black ZOOM worm.
Love the videos Gene!
I believe you are the first well known US bass fisherman to say "This is the FG knot, learn it." Aaron Martens talks about it but doesnt use it yet.. There is literally no other leader knot that comes close to the FG(beside the PR knot which is stupid tough to tie without a bobbin).. You WILL break your terminal knot before the FG, it doesnt matter if its an improved clinch, doubled uni or palomar... And it goes through guides like butter... Not only bass angler's but every angler should learn to tie an FG.
Exactly
any way to make it easier to tie? I've been trying and failing with heavier leaders like 30-50lb test. if it only works on light line that explains it
+Jeremiah Giles did you watch the saltstrong instructional video? It is probably the easiest to follow, no offense to fluke.. It should actually be easier to tie, the larger the leader diameter.
+Jeremiah Giles, another thing could be that you doing too many wraps, that is if you are having trouble with it staying tight. You want to make sure the beginning of the Fg is tight. if there are too many wraps it wont.
Slime Sr okay thanks, I'll try again
Good stuff here. I was just out of ideas on the lake today. Tried everything EXCEPT a Carolina rig. I'll go back out again in a couple days and try the Carolina rig and see how it works. Thanks for the advice! Subd.
title of this video should have been: Tips for kingkong since he hasn't caught a bass in a few months. lol jk. guess what though, I finally caught a bass this past weekend. i was fishing early Saturday morning. when I got to the pond I noticed they were hitting too water so I threw a frog along the grass edges. missed 2 frog bites and I came back later with a weightless texas rig lizard. I casted out at that same spot I missed one of the frog bite and he choked on it. I set the hook and he was on. it was a dink but hey it's better than skunk. I appreciate all that you've done for us Gene.
Nice catch Jordan
Great tips!
I am so glad I found this channel
I really enjoy your videos very helpful
Hey I fish for mostly pike and walleye. I know drop shotting,Texas rigging, Carolina rigging, etc. is mostly for bass, but would it work for other fish?
Cool vid man keep it up
Good video man very informative
I've tried these techniques but in south Louisiana the max water depth is 6 feet so we catch them on cranks and spinnerbaits. Nice vid
Awesome video Gene. What size line would recommend for a carolina rig?
flukemaster... you are a great and true fisherman
Do you use any weight on the line?
When I use my spinning rod, I'ill fish weightless with a trick worm and that usually works for me. When using my baitcasters, I'll use a Carolina rig and trick worm. I've done pretty good so far with those this year. We'll see how the rest of the Summer goes though.
watched this and caught 2 immediately after, great video
great video thanks for the tips
Great stuff!
awesome video. Hey what's your thoughts on old river runs. I live in North East arkansas and we have alot of old river run lakes all threw arkansas.
fg is great, love how the 2 lines fuse together. right now though, i prefer alberto till it lets me down.
have any preference for a drop shot lure? Senko or keitech
The muddy bottom tip was a good one... Not that instinctually people who put the time in don't know it... But I needed to hear it so I can vocalize it to others and to my internal dialogue, especially working rocky bottoms in my waters with all the sediment.
Thanks Andrew
Do you have a video that goes step by step on how to tie the FG knot? Been using a palomar for everything 'cuz it's so simple and fast to tie while on the water.
Nice vid I fish a drop.shot as much as I can but in some cases you can't like mossy grass areas so the Carolina info helped out ..thanks bud
Good man thanks for the info 🎣
Can you use that same leader on a baitcaster or just a spinning reel?
