Title: Summer Is Here
Post by: Cy on June 21, 2012, 02:23:15 PM
I know the weather has been summer like for a while but that's not what I'm talking about.  I mean summer pattern bass should be here any time now.  On some lakes they are already in summer pattern and other lakes almost there.  Summer pattern for me means catching bass on deep weed lines and docks.  My favorite bait for both of those techniques is a Kustom Kicker Jigs Dock Monkey.  The name says it all, it is a dock fishing machine.  It is the best skipping jig I have ever fished.  Also it's standup up design makes it an awesome deep water jig too.  It is my "go to" jig all summer.  However when the bite is a little tough or they just won't eat a bigger jig I move to the Kustom Kicker Jigs Wreaking Ball jig.  It an amazing smaller profile round head jig designed for any depth and more finicky fish.  Match either jig with your favorite trailer and start wackin' big bass!

What is your favorite bait and technique for catching summer pattern bass?
