The secret to success lies in the choice of baits. Dumke introduces two tried-and-true setups for flipping heavy cover. Sleek, compact baits excel in this kind of terrain. Choosing a bait that is designed for maximum efficiency is key, allowing you to fish cleanly in and out of cover.
The ability to attack anything he comes across while flipping, depending on the density of the cover, is essential. This two prong approach Dumke uses with a ½-ounce and ¾-ounce weight gives him the flexibility to pick apart both the thinnest and thickest pieces of cover. Complemented by a 7’4” to 7’6” heavy action rod and a high-speed gear ratio reel, his setup ensures accuracy in casting and picking apart tiny pockets that may hold bass while having enough torque to rip them out of the jungle. Rounding it off, Dumke explains the importance of choosing the right hook and line based on the cover conditions.
Stealth is essential in tight quarters fishing like this. Dumke shares his tips for quietly moving through the water silently. Subtle details like trimming the outboard, turning down the trolling motor, and making smooth, silent bait entries are small technicalities that get you a few more bites throughout the day. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, these summer bass fishing tips will boost your success in heavy cover.

good presentation , has a personable speaking style and he is obviously a knowledgeable angler
Great video. I just got a new rod and reel. Loading it with Suffix 50#. I’m new and not very good. Been second guessing if I should’ve gone with heavier line. Thanks for giving me a little confidence!

There use to not be much grass in lakes around me. I rarely used more than 1/4. Even around sparse cover in finding fish react to heavier weights sometimes . I know that’s been a tactic for a long time. But I remember when I first started you couldn’t hardly get bit with a heavier weight. We use to use a punch skirt set up with an 1/8 ounce weight to get a slow fall.
Good stuff Nick! 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for breaking it down my friend!
Excellent
There's nothing like hearing that brad sing baby
who’s Brad
Truly fine video, quite educational. Gained some good insights as to technique and equipment.
Wish some of these videos were on public water to see how it goes. I understand this is just educating but it’s not the same
0:07, this shot was filmed off the public boat access dock of a section of the Mississippi River the video was shot on.
That's most definitely public water ya hater
Where is this system?
You listed the 7'4 Muse Black as the heavy setup and the 7'6 Essence as the light setup. I think that's backwards?
They're both heavy action rods. Barely any difference anyway.
Personally for close quarters heavy cover I have a 7'4 heavy with braid. Then for lighter applications I have a 7'8 heavy. More tip and 20lb flouro. The way I see it I'm making longer pitches and there's a small amount of stretch so I pair it with a bigger rod
Punching is like needle in a haystack . You can go 300 yard with no bites and catch 1 big one at the end
Braid
What knot is that?
Based on the loop looks like a palomar. Possibly double. I could be mistaken though.
why no snell knot?
Doesn't help.
@@andyd834 really? Doesn’t help? Going to start flipping and punching… and everyone swears by snell although I’m a palomar guy.
Looks addicting
The big ones are she’s not he’s
He is pitching not flipping
