The Summer Struggle Is Real! Bass Fishing Tricks For Tough Conditions!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- We're facing challenging conditions on the water today, but we're going to overcome and catch fish! Come along and see how Tim adapts to fluctuating water levels, changes in current, and the mindset that goes into adapting on the water. If bass fishing was always easy we'd never learn to adapt, but sometimes you need to understand nuances to get bit. Here are those subtle details!
Tim starts off strong, fishing grass edges and shallow vegetation. As the fishing gets tougher he moves to hard structure and moving water. Listen closely as he explains how he's positioning, what the fish are doing, and the subtle changes that help him catch fish.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, hooks, and any relevant details. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Love these videos time,Lost my dad 2 week ago has left me hurting.Being part of the tactical family has helped me snap back.Lost an 8 pounder this morning and cried my eyes out.Had nothing to do with the fish.We got some good ones just of cape cod and on cape.were tuff construction guys in boston and you dont think you will hurt but you do.Hug your kids and go buy your dads a coffee.Again Being part of tactical for more than 10 years has helped more than you know.Sorry for being a downer you and matt are the best.
man keep your head up we love you.
Positive thoughts coming from MN - hang in there bro. Keep on fishin’ 👊
PMA (positive mental attitude) kind sir. Keep your head up. Very sorry for you and your families loss.
After losing my dad, I’d get on the water and start crying when I ripped the main motor. He always loved ripping it. It still sucks and it’s still a thought in my head, but it gets so much easier. Keep fishing man, keep that head up. It’s what he’d want! He didn’t let you get that 8 bc it wasn’t your time. You got this.
May the Lord be with you and comfort you in this difficult time. I lost my grandfather in '15 he was my fishing buddy. Still missing him. Hang on to those memories.
This pov view from cast to catch is awesome and super informative dope video 🔥
Love the tips and lessons. Caught my first fish on a frog this week,now I’m addicted
Congratulations! It’s addicting for sure!
I’m from Costa Rica and I’ve learn a lot from you man! Here we don’t have seasons but we have a lot of Rainbow Bass. Tight lines brother! 🇨🇷
Thank you for watching and the support. Tight lines!
Yes I did learn about their current thanks for letting me know when they would like to hang out by bass and you know I really like watching your fishing shows on UA-cam I will watch your fishing shows every morning
I caught the tackle sickness and learned to love jerkbaits and frogs and jigs from you guys I wouldnt be 3/4 of the angler i am now without all of the knowledge you guys put together and reiterate. ^^
I love your on-the-boat videos, successes, failures, and great pointers on every situation.
I tore them up in that same area a few weeks ago. Green pumpkin speed worm was the trick that day .
tim i remember in the early 1990's when the original slugo came out. the fish here in kentucky had never seen such an action, what a blast
Good stuff as always - everyone has lost a nice one - explaining the different techniques is always on point👊👍🎣
Thank you Tim,I’ve never experienced falling and raising water like that here in Massachusetts/Rhode Island where I live ❤
I thought that the combination of a chest camera and camera in the back of the boat was extremely well done. It allowed us to see where you were casting, how you were working the baits, plus see the casting angles. Well done! I had one pack of the Xzone Whiplash Shad but had never used it on my highland reservoir where I fish but this video gives me ideas where I might fish it and how. Well done!
Great tips. I fished chick last weekend and it make so much more since why and where I got my bites now. Thanks again for helping me figure out the puzzle.
I really like those little harmony bait straps from Amazon. They definitely help with hook up ratio on ewg hooks. They also make the bait last longer.
I love this type of video. Thank you.
Nice yeah that whiplash Shad is a lot like our 5” Drunkin Shad . We user softer floating plastisol increasing the action on the bait
I would love to hear a video in which you explain what you get from the way fish are biting! I suspect this varies by season and species. Thank you!
I discovered the fluke a day ago and was surprised by not only how many bites I was getting, but the aggression of the bites
Tough seeing a big fish throw the hook like that. We've all been there. Happened to me on a dropshot, came right up like yours and threw the hook. Never used an EWG on a dropshot worm ever since tho lol. Just have to pick up the pieces and stick to it and not let it get to your head and keep going. Great video!
I’m very surprised you wasn’t throwing a swim jig , worm or swim bait around those walls and bridges.
Welcome to TVA
Lol I thought when you moved the first time that soft plastics were flying off your front deck but then I realized it was just grass from your transducer on the trolling motor
I wanna see you guys go over the ozark rig. I can’t seem to find a video saying the best rod/line.
In 35 years ive never seen any fluke style bait that didnt have a un lifelike crazy erratic action lol. Ive fished so many too, the fluke is still king of that design. It has a flitter like a stick bait at times too. Creme made one that was a little softer that also did that. You know the copy cat baits ot seems lol all good though.
Thanks!
At 8:20 what are those brown things with the holes under the bridge? Is it mud wasp nests?
Fishing the finger lakes next week. What should I use guys. Looking for numbers over quality. 🤘✌️
That is one benefit of fishing a big ol nasty industrial river; the oxygen doesn't die off and make the fish lazy as you approach fall like it does in a lake or pond. Summer fishing is usually only hot instead of hot *and* nonproductive if you're in the river.
That's a bummer Tim not getting that 5 pounder
2800 veiws 300 likes lets give it a like tbt.
You mentioned the polarized filter on your GoPro. Are those available? I have never heard of them.
Tim just booped a turtle with his rod😭😭😭
What chest harness for the go pro is that?!
Believe it or not, I haven’t been able to catch 1 single bass on a frog all year. Not even a single strike. I’m baffled as to why.
Hey Tim bought the gavacho but was super surprised how hard it was. Was wondering if you boil it and bend the hooks out? Don’t wanna ruin it because it’s hard to find in 🇨🇦 what mods (if any) would you recommend?
I'm struggling fishing this lake that has 99% hydrilla just right underneath the surface. I fished the areas that look most fishy and came up with nothing. Throwing a frog by lily pads mixed with tules. I just dnt kno where to fish or how because of all the hydrillas.
Hey Tim,,great video bro. Have you ever tried using a vertical line tie hook with your fluke,s with a screw lock. It's all I use n they are awesome. My fluke,s last so much longer
Interesting! Does the line tie grab more grass because it’s vertical?
@@tacticalbassin no sir I can't tell a bit of difference. I went to Boone Lake yesterday in Tennessee and put 20 in the boat. Not bad for this time of yr
I am about to switch over to braid and was wondering if the package says 10 lb braid 4 lb mono equivalent does that mean I can use a 4 lb leader?
It means the diameter/thickness of the 10lb braid is the equivalent of the diameter/thickness of 4lb mono.
Anyone bought the new mouse hollow body by lunkerhunt? It's freakin' awesome...Had to add to my collection of 3,927 Hollow body baits
Love the video, where are you fishing?
I was on the TN river 👍
Hey Tim thanks for the great video. Did that z crank not feel like it was being overpowered with the Jowler top water being almost an ounce of weight?
It did a little bit. That’s my smaller topwater rod but it worked fine 👍
@tacticalbassin good to hear I got that rod several weeks ago only tried it out so far on lighter Cranks like z1 and z2 didn't realize it would be versatile enough to get that high on weight will try it out with some top waters next. Thanks.
Hey, just curious. when you guys do braid to leader.How long do you make your leaders?
Depends on the technique, and the angler. Most people I know use around a foot to 18 inches of leader. But I know other people who use feet of leader.
Yeah it definitely depends on the technique, but I’m one of those guys who use feet of leader. I typically use 4-5 ft
Lmao [a tiny splash 60ft away] "ooooh a 4 pounder"
Prob knows more than you. Why tf you even here.
@@caleb4015 was trying to watch a legitimate bass fisherman, so yeah, didnt find what I was after and clearly my mistake. You keep on watching this clown though big man.
Nice video. WE NEED MORE INFO! What size hook do you recommend for the whiplash shad???
If info is ever lacking, check the video description. Everything you could ever want to know will be there 👍🏼
