Summer Fishing For Bass with Jigs, Creature Baits, and Plastic Worms!

- Summer fishing is easy if you know where to look! Today Matt's Dad joins us as we target bass near deep water with 3 key summertime techniques. If you want to catch more bass, pay close attention to how the guys use the shaky head worm, jig, and wobble head creature bait to locate bass and dial in the pattern!
The guys haven't been on Clearlake for months but they start catching fish immediately. If you struggle to find Summer bass, we recommend you go back and revisit our "Where Do Bass Go In Summer" video (linked below). Today the guys targeted chunk rock in 5-15 feet of water but the key was finding these areas with quick access to deep water. If you could find that scenario, the fish were always present. They knew they could get bit on a shaky head and a jig but once fish started coming in the boat, the wobble head was employed to get the bigger bite.
All 3 of these are simple techniques to use and they will work on your local water. Focus on the shaky head worm to find a consistent bite. Of the 3 techniques, it is the easiest to get bit on day in and day out. If your fish are dialed in on eating crawdads switch to the jig and you'll almost always see the size of the fish increase. Once you've located fish on hard bottom, the wobble head is an incredible technique for catching those "kicker fish" you're looking for. It will cover water quickly, get big bites, and is very snag resistant.

That's a proud dad right there. I'm guessing he took you fishing when you were younger. He probably never expected you to become a celebrity and one of the biggest influencers for bass fishing. You fish for a living. That's what I call an American Dream . Congratulations. Looking forward to more content as you evolve bass fishing.!!!
So true! Well said 👍🏼
Well said, my man
The old backlash, catch a fish technique
😂 Love it!! That’s one of my go-to techniques! Lol
caught my first small mouth that way. fixed my backlash and low and behold there was a fish.
Sometimes it's the old backlash and catch a turtle or the old backlash and catch an alligator in the south.
That how I usually find out they want me to soak it a bit:)
Back Lashes Matter
I can't stop looking at the smile on your dad's face the whole time… looks like he's having a blast! Keep up the great vids!
Love it. “When Matt says it’s time to go fishing, it’s time to go fishing”
Thats awesome that you can still go fishing with your dad, my dad past away and took him fishing a couple of years ago before he got really sick probably kne of my favorite memories
Matt, enjoy spend time with your Dad, you will miss being able to one day.
Unless he lives forever
With out a doubt the best, most informative bass fishing TH-cam channel there is.
God is good
Drake Aamold lol what?
It’s always a great feeling when I’m fixing my backlash and all of sudden I’m hooked up.
😂😎👍🏽🎣🐟 When your dad was fixing his line, I had that feeling he might get bit. Nice catches guys!!!
Mr. Rick I call those backlash blessings. They usually make me slow down and get more bites. However now I'm using DC reels to have less backlashes.
Coach Lance Nice! 😎👍🏽
Brought back memories of taking my dad fishing... the last one before he passed he caught the biggest fish he had every caught... a 30 plus pound catfish. Soon after that his health wouldn't allow him to go fishing any longer. Take your dad fishing while you still have him around. Mine passed 2 years after our last fishing trip together.
haha...Matt's dad picking out a backlash then to have a fish on the end of it, awesome! I know the feeling.
I always enjoy taking pops out. I dont know how many more we have together.
I loved this video! My dad passed away 4 years ago and it’s awesome to see you and your dad out there tearing it up.
I’m glad to see your dad doing well and catching fish. The smile on his face when he gets the fish out of the net says it all. Thanks for sharing your day with us and posting all of your videos. I have learned so much over the last few years from Matt and Tim. I truly appreciate it.
You had a good day on the water, But the best thing you did that day, fish or no fish was to spend it with your dad. It's priceless, and it's not forever.
Two minutes in! Like father, like son. That really put a huge smile on my face Matt!!!
Special times to be with your father, it was awesome he went fishing with you. i lost my dad in May , and I miss him!
Awesome to see you out there catching fish with your dad!
Love some fishing with Dad. I miss being able to take mine. Good video brother
Right on. Got the old man out there fishing...Awesome to see your dad out there with you
Who doesn't love a bonus backlash bass
From backlash to hookset! That was great man.
Great Job guys, Hey Matt get your dad out there more! looks like he really enjoyed it.
Should take dad fishing more often. we only have one dad. Would love to see him in more videos.
I love that you guys are always fishing with family. Also your father has a respectable hookset.
My husband and I love watching your fishing videos.
I think we have seen most all of them.
And we get as excited as y’all do when you catch a tank.
Thanks for your videos
Enjoy these days man, I would do anything to be able to fish with my dad again.
great to see you out fishing and enjoying time with your father
Your Dad has a great hook set!!💪🏻👍🏻👊🏼
Nothing better than going fishing with your dad.
We can talk about technique all day....until an old timer comes along with a little something different that you learn and become and YOU become better. Great watching him. Bring him more often.
Man, your Pops was sticking them right off the bat. Now we see where Matt got his skills.
man this video made me miss my pops so much. enjoy the time u have ppl u never know when its going to end. great video matt looked like u guys had a blast out there!
lol Nice catch for dad after the backlash cleanup. the look on his face when he knew a fish was on was priceless. Have fun
Wow!OMG! Pops caught one while picking his backlash out,reminding me that I'm still fishing to way2fast.!😂👊🏿
I knew the old man would hook up after that birdsnest. My dad does the same damn thing!
That’s awesome bro! Nothing like spending time with your Dad. Cool vid!
awesome vid matt - special moments become cherished memories - brought tears to my eyes - DO IT AGAIN WITH Y0UR DAD - thks for sharing
Hands down best fishing tech channel! Lots of them out there but matt really does a great job! Thanks matt for all the teachings
So awesome! Love watching when your dad comes along!
Love the backlash and catch a fish trick. Thumbs up!
Very cool to share your Dad with us.
These summer videos have helped me catch SO MUCH BASS! Listen to everything these guys say because it flat out works. #Summerbass
Always love watching father and son time on the water, there's just nothing like it and I wish it would be a holiday! Father/son-daughter fishing day!
I loved this video Matt mainly because your Dad was in it there's nothing better than that
Always special having Pops fish with you. Thanks for sharing the experience gentleman.
Fishing with your Dad. Absolutely priceless.
Nothin like fishin with Dad! Good stuff guys
Great Matt...your tutorial always nice . But today you moved me
I lost my dad last year and also bring him to fish largmouth bass in italy ( Bolsena lake..I am TBA agonist partner .) Good lucky guy
Your dads hook set reminds me of Roland Martin's lol. Beautiful
One of my favorite videos! I’d give anything off my dad would fish with me. Great information to boot!
I have 2 favorite soft plastic baits I use first and have a ton of confidence in. Netbait paca slim craw--use it for punching, fishing in grass, Regular texas rig, anything like that. Reaction innovations sweet beaver and smallie beaver (basically same thing, ones smaller)-- use these in blugill color or dark colors if the water is murky. Then nothing beats dragging a big worm out deep in a carolina rig or texas rig. Lot of times I use a texas rig, but i’ll put a peg between the bait and the weight to basically make a poor mans carolina rig....can adjust it to whatever length.
That glx mbr/metanium setup is my exact finesse jig combo. So good!
It’s always awesome fishin with dad. Great video.
Damn son your ol man came off the birds nest just to land a slaunch! Nice 🤙🏻
Good info and great video - summer fishing is always the biggest challenge for me so its awesome to take this info and apply it on my local lakes! Keep up the good work!
Your dad's hook set tho🔥🔥
Not a better feeling out there than taking your ole’ man fishing! God bless!
Awesome to your dad out with you
Matt, boy oh boy, your Dad put it to ya man!!! 😂😂😎😂😂
Summer time calls for the soft plastics! Great video! Love watching you guys smash fish!
Don’t forget the drop shot. Been killer around this time during hard hot days
You guys put this video out just in time for my morning cup of coffee before work. I’ll be out on the lake tomorrow trying my jig set up and top water frog set up. I’m determined to get my new PB!!!
Damn I miss fishing with my Dad
Gotta love when the Pops gets on the boat and hooks them.
First Cece a couple of weeks back, now Dad. Your boat guests are gettin' work done! LOL
Awesome job catching fish
Yeah dad.......... Shaky head clinic!
Yall comin in making fridays even better 🤟🏽 preshate yall
Would love to see a video of how you guys got into fishing, how you met, deciding to do tournaments/guiding/TH-cam, etc. Great seeing you fish with your dad. I don’t think I’ve seen anything with him since your crash.
@Matt for a sec I thought your old man was about to take you out behind the woodshed! But you came back strong !
Nice vid brother!
Absolutely enjoy the family time. Time well spent. We only have a few spots that have rock. They get alot of pressure, know a few guys ned rig the heck outta it. Good info as always, thanks Matt.
dude your dads reaction time is primo!
Love the bird nest catch a fish lol. Happen alot to me
Looks like your old man still got it! Looked like a great time
Thought dad was going to skunk you for a bit 😂😂
I love you guys. every video it's like I'm going with you. Keep taking me fishing.
Pops got skills thats nice 👌.
Good time with dad love the video
Nice fishin’, Pops. You showed Matt how to do it!
Way cool. This is what it's really about. This is why I teach my kids to fish. Also caught my first frog fish last night at my local pond. Tied it straight to braid like ya said 🤘
Your dad was killing it!
It's awesome that you get to show your dad a good time! He looked like he loved every minute of it, and was even handing you a spanking for a while :-)
Ayyyyy shoutout the father and son fishing trip ✌️🤙
Love the father son duo boss man, thanks for all the great tips man, keep it up
We’re getting another dose of those Bacterial/Algal Blooms in Jersey. As if we weren’t under enough pressure. 🎣👍🏻
Liked it before I watched it because I know it's going to be good and I'm going fishing tomorrow and needed this topic
Love to see videos like this Matt! Quick question, that rod what is it’s length and action and taper?
Shaky head, rage tail, wacky worm, and dropshot the only baits I've been using lately
Stay well you guys!!!
Awesome channel thanks for teaching what you guys do I've learned a lot keep up the great work can't wait to watch the next one
What's the difference between a swing head and a wobble head? In his video a month ago about how to fish swing head jigs he has two rods (one for his specific and favorite tungsten head), both heavy action. In this for his wobble head he uses medium-heavy.
Hey thanks for all your videos I have learn so much form you thanks again
Mat's dad looks like he's got a GLX rods.
Nice fish are you moving to Tennessee
Love your dad! He’s a beast
God is good
Great video as always guys! Thx matt
Hey, Matt/Tim. I wouldn't normally ask for specific input from you guys. I mean, if everyone did that, you'd be horribly inundated with such questions. However, we have a bit of a weird weather pattern approaching this weekend. So, thanks in advance, if you have the time to respond.
.
We've been in the high 80s and low 90s for a month or two, in Central Ohio. Water temps have been peaking around 90. We haven't had more than a passing storm since may, I think. The bite has gotten pretty tough, as you can imagine. Starting on Wednesday, we entered what they're predicting to be a quite long cool period where we'll be in 10 - 15 degrees cooler for the better part of two weeks. Some rain is in the forecast but I doubt it will be enough to muddy up the water significantly. Most days should see winds calm-ish, less than 8 mph. I was curious how you might approach planning a day of fishing a few days into this pattern, and maybe a tip on how to go about it a week into it. I did some Googling but I can't find anyone talking about this type of scenario. Everything is based loosely around seasonal conditions, not anomalous mid-season weather patterns.
.
Should I treat tomorrow as post-frontal, or is 3 or 4 days long enough for them to settle into an extended pattern? If the latter, what kind of pattern should I be on the lookout for? Is it possible that the bass may treat this like a fall pattern, moving up to chase bait on primary and (maybe) secondary points or flats, especially next week? Will they keep to their summer patterns, splitting between deep and shallow cover, because the water temps really won't drop too much? Seems like if the latter is the case, then the shallow bass may get active, taking advantage of slightly cooler surface temps. Just not quite sure how this might play out.
.
Just some quick, general ideas on how to think about a day on the lake is fine. Don't break your back over it. Keep up the awesomeness!
Hey man, I’m not Matt or Tim but I do have some advice. I’d say just try not to overthink it. Try to get out there and let the fish tell you what they want. Try a variety of retrieval speeds and baits to see if anything gets bit. If not, try a finesse approach with dropshot. I wouldn’t think this weather would affect them all too much
@@Gulb180 Thanks. My current loose pan is to start shallow in the early morning, figuring the cooler weather can't hurt the early morning bite too much. Maybe take a harder look at near-shore drop offs and depth related pinch points. Probably throw some buzz baits, whopper ploppers, squarebills and swimbaits, maybe even a spinner bait. I've yet to catch something on a spook. Would really like to get one of those. I'll keep a jig and T-rig tied on, but it always feels wrong to throw slow, bottom baits early in the morning. However, I catch most my fish during the middle part of the day on shallow, hard cover and never seem to do very well on that morning bite, anyway. So, who knows.
.
After that is where I'm not really sure which way to start out. I've really been wanting to focus on deep holds, to work on a very lacking skill area for me, but am wondering if the clouds and cooler weather will coax them out of the deep water. I'm guessing probably not, though. I doubt the 15 degree lower surface temps are going to change deeper water conditions much. I'd love to get on a deep crank bit, and I actually like throwing finesse. So, a drop shot or shaky head bite would be nice, too.
Great video!
If I’m going to fish camanche next weekend these same techniques should apply right?
great video!!!!!!
