Hello friends, I hope everyones summertime fishing trips are going great! 2013 has been one of the best fishing seasons I have seen since moving to Lake Fork almost 10 years ago. We have caught both good numbers and good size bass on nearly every trip this season, many of these fish have been caught on crankbaits. During this time of year I like to throw crankbaits in both shallow and deep water to trigger reaction strikes from these pressured bass. In shallow water I like to fan cast lipess crankbaits in 3-6 ft. Focus on main lake flats and points that have large areas of submerged grass and quick access to deeper water. This is especially effective early in the am, late in the evening, or all day long on cloudy or rainy days. For offshore fishing I will throw a deep diving crankbait on main lake points, humps, roadbeds, pond dams, and creek channel ledges in 12-18 ft. Make sure to pay careful attention to your electronics as you idle over these structures as they will clearly show you these active schools of bass. Check out the below video to see more tips for summertime crankbaits. Thank you for watching and for all of your comments. I hope this short video helps some of you learn more about crankbait fishing!
