Wow, this bass fishing video got me reminiscing about my recent adventure in Nova Scotia! I couldn't resist the temptation to explore the beautiful waters there, and let me tell you, the smallmouth bass fishing experience was absolutely exhilarating. From the scenic landscapes to the thrill of reeling in those feisty fighters, it was a trip of a lifetime. Nova Scotia truly holds some hidden gems for bass enthusiasts like us. Thanks for sharing this awesome video, it's bringing back some incredible memories! Keep up the great work and tight lines, fellow anglers!
I hate summer bass fishing, not because I can't catch anything, because I actually catch quite a lot of fish, but because it's so hot and I have a big-time sensitivity to heat . And living in southern Missouri doesn't help with that mixed with the humidity! But I do it anyways because I can't help myself and love fishing too much!
I haven't done much night fishing but after two comments mentioning it, I'm definitely going to try it now! I do know and I've heard many times that the biggest fish can be caught at night in the summer, but I just haven't done it and I'm not quite sure why, but now after your comments I want to give it a try! It sounds more comfortable!
I like using a big worm and spinnerbait"s always seems to work especially when I fish them deep also lipless crankbaits I'll cast them out and let them fall then start cranking this always works. I caught a five pounder very deep on a war eagle firecracker color spinnerbait I bent the arm of the bait bringing it up to the boat it took a while to land it that day.
Mike, I learn a ton from your videos. Short notice but I am fishing a tournament on the upper Chesapeake Bay. Any bait suggestion for that area this time of year?
I use a double buzz bait, DT6 and a rugby jig two days ago here in Fredericton on the riverbank. I lost my DT6 river shad on a snag. Without a boat I couldn't get over the bait to free it. It about $15 dollars here in Fredericton for the DT series
Hey Mike. Love the content you put in all your videos. Love the new boat set up. I live in Angier North Carolina. I do a lot of fishing at the Sharon Harris reservoir. I watch the heavy hitters that y’all did on the major league fishing show. Watch that show a lot. Is there any pointers you can give me on fishing that particular lake and how would I go about getting into some local tournaments with me and my son. He loves going fishing with me and I think that might be something he would enjoy.
I have an ultra clear pond that I can't catch bass out of how do I do it, I mean you can see 10 to 15 feet down and all the cover, and I'm going nuts any tips Mike

Have you ever done any night fishing?
Already at 95° here in tx, try some topwater night fishing

@@natea4828get yourself a black light and fluorescent line. And the first time you go, do it on at least a half moon night

Thank you sir!
What did you use at Murray last week?
Water is getting hot . This is s true statement. Sam Rayburn is already 85-87 surface temp . 6-4-2023
Are you using casting or spinning gear for the big bottom hopper?
Do you trim the weed guard on your jigs?
What kind of line would you recommend for these lures?
Great video... What about big speed worms?
Hey Mike, it would help to see them out of the box.
ill give you a shout out on my channel great video mike.
How about our West
I have an ultra clear pond that I can't catch bass out of how do I do it, I mean you can see 10 to 15 feet down and all the cover, and I'm going nuts any tips Mike
My river is low so idk if some of these baits will work bc I have to wade out to catch bass now
Don’t overlook a frog in open water! I did pretty good on a 10.5 ribbon tail on a 1/2oz swing head last night
What about for a co angler in the back of the boat? I’m only a few minutes in but I’m definitely ears 👂 🎣
Check out the Co-angler video!!

What up big perm? Big worm gets it done?
People always say bass are getting deeper. Ive tested this and they stay deeper all year round. The majority of bass are off the banks
