- In the heat of the summer, bass fishing can get really tough throughout much of the country. With the high water temperatures combined with excess fishing pressure, it’s not always easy to get a bite. Fishing thick vegetation, however, is an awesome way to get some really nice bites from summer bass. This shallow grass attracts small baitfish, panfish, and of course, big bass follow to prey on their favorite forage.

Wired2fish staffer Nick Dumke enjoys a lot of success targeting this type of cover with pitching and flipping baits. He has caught a lot of nice bass with this technique using larger soft-plastic baits such as a Strike King Magnum Rage Bug. Because summer vegetation can be so thick, this larger-profile bait helps the bass locate the bait in heavy cover. The less they have to hunt for it, the more bites you’ll get, according to Dumke.
High-gear ratio reels and heavy braided line are also imperative if you want to maximize this bite. Dumke doesn’t use anything less than 50-pound braid and isn’t afraid to step it up to 65-pound braided line in especially heavy cover. The name of the game is getting them out of the cover as quickly as possible and tough gear is absolutely necessary to accomplish that.
In regards to hook selection, it’s hugely important to use a heavy-wire flipping hook. Dumke really likes a 5/0 flipping hook paired with a 5/8-ounce weight as he targets irregularities in vegetation. These small spots are key when you’re looking for a big bite because bass naturally position themselves on irregularities. Whether it’s a small point the size of a frying pan or a tiny hole in the grass the size of a paper plate; these are the areas bass frequent this time of year.

Pitching and Flipping is pure hand to hand combat!! Love it!!
I never even thought of going in the middle of the grass until I let a friend take the front one day and he did just that. He plowed us right in the middle and I have never had so much fun bass fishing. That day was truly epic!! Caught my PB that day 👍🏻
Good stuff Nick! 👀 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing my friend!
One of my favorite Techniques💪. Great video guy's Thanks👍🏼👏👏
That fly was holding on for dear life on his hat
I fought as an amateur and professional until about 5 years ago and transitioned my competitive drive into bass fishing, I love all aspects of bass fishing but flipping is the one thing that gets my blood pumping.
Isn’t this what they use to call flipping not pitching? What is the difference?
As originally defined flipping didn’t freespool the reel - the angler just pulled some line in with their off hand. Pitching was holding the bait in off hand, free spooling reel and using a short underhand cast. But nowadays it’s he terms are used interchangeably and the distinction has been lost.

He is pitching, not flipping.
Anyone wanna tell me why this guy is wearing a life vest.?? Seems dumb.?
Do you like the content? Seems the young man was knowledgable and doing a good job teaching.
People drown every year due to not wearing life jacket. Not stupid to be safe.
