Welcome back what three-baked should you be using in the month of August? Before we get into it if you're new to the channel, please hit that like and subscribe button also comment below And tell me that you sub because I'd like to say hello and at least say welcome to the family Because once you went to this family There's no good now It's a thing of honor and when you're here your family But right now August three baits you should use here we go So we made it through July amazingly, but August is not much better better in terms of the weather It's still hot. It's hot here. It's hot north, but right now August is one of the toughest months to catch fish But if you use the right baits and know what you're looking for and what to target and the areas You're going to catch them. So summertime is winding down, but the water is still exceptionally warm It's the end of summer. We're going to still want to fish deeper areas if you're up north structure your brass flats your grass mats your Docks all those things that will will hold fish they're gonna They're gonna stand underneath them and just wait to ambush that prey This is a good month that you can start Increasing the size or the presence of the bait that you're using To be quite honest, I was gonna put a Ned Regan here because I think a Ned irate right now is perfect to use I also think a glide bait is perfect to use right now too These bass are are know that a transition is about to happen So they want to fatten up and get ready for what's about to happen this cooler weather And and this is important to take advantage of so Bigger present baits are what we're going to kind of go into today or baits that I think are have a little bit bigger presents So in August, I think you should get out and fish early. I also think you should get out and fish the evening the low light Early warning and evening is perfect time to catch them also. I think Targeting shared shaded areas is crucial now too The water is gonna get is still just so warm that if they can find one or two differences Degree differences in the water because of shade that is a great place for a bass to hide in the ambush those baitfish You have to remember as we start to transition into the fall that days are getting a little bit shorter and Knowing that knowing our barometer and those things will help you catch more fish Here we go number one. I really like The HD tackle HD tackle hog monster ribbon worm Now I know what you're saying There's tons of them out there. I agree with you I want a giant worm right now. I want a worm that in That has great action I want to warn that it isn't expensive to think you get 10 of these. I don't even know for probably four or five bucks They're not that expensive I want the action of the tail right now you can use it as like a speed worm you can use it with up a Texas rig and bounce it off the bottom But this bait has such exceptional action in the tail that that ribbon tail is what I want to use I think that's what you should be using too Another one if you haven't seen the hyper lastics worm spin Not the biggest bait, but what I like about this is that Little spinner on the back now. I can use this as a top water bait I can use it as a bottom bouncing bait But pretty much what I'm using it as is a middle column worm that just you cast and just reel it in at a moderate pace and that That blade in the back just makes basket go crazy So that's my number one a not really a stickworm But a worm that has a lot of action My number two bait which you're going to see two different versions Is a wopper plopper now 95 99 I see 95 all the time a majority of the time I use the smaller wopper plopper or the Berkeley chapo Anytime most majority time this is what I'm throwing I'm throwing the smaller one in August I want the bigger one With bigger hooks I want the beast I throw I think the bigger one There's a few things the bigger one makes a little bit different noise I think the bass will target the bigger one a little bit more often right now in August and here's why they are Looking for bigger baits to eat they're looking for bigger fish to eat Like I said earlier that transition is about to happen when that transition does happen They get lethargic so they're going to eat as much as possible. So a bigger style chapo or wopper plopper Is gold Quite honestly that big giant. I only think it's like one 10 version or whatever it is I even I would even suggest throwing that right now That's a bigger bait now remember If you if you don't know a lot about wopper ploppers There's really two ways of of using you can cast it and just retrieve it in it'll make that chugging train noise With that kind of stuff Or you can cast it and rip it just let it go and stop Now the bigger baits are going to sound different than the smaller baits So if you find yourself not getting bites You probably need to downsize one start off bigger and go to smaller Because that sound is what's going to trigger those bites that sound in that bubble trail and that Comotion on top of the water So remember if you're gonna use the bigger one it's gonna sound different than that smaller one. So Just go down the line But they're great baits here in august great baits in fact that bait should have probably been used Be used in july because it's that good and last because really I'm looking at my notes I think a spy bait is going to be good I've got the big worm the wopper plopper the underspin the net rig But right now Get a jig Get a swim jig This is the the engage water bowl Fantastic fantastic fantastic if you have a lot of structure a lot of cover all that stuff This is going to bounce through it. This is Any Patrick design this so that it went through all cover Same with the thunderhawk grunt. They're getting a lot of love in this one The grunt's another great bait very inexpensive comes through cover very well and You know Has a stout hook that's really important in last. I think another swim jig that you can use if you like to use that Get this to the bottom and let the fish smell it is that Berkeley Swim jig that has the scent infused the maxent Infused into the trailer and that's pretty cool all three of these are Are meant to get through cover because that's what you're going to fish these in if you're fishing offshore Get these baits into the thickest crap you can find Let them go through the grass let them go through the structure and those bass are sitting on the bottom of that structure So get it in that thick stuff and make sure that it can come out One of the great things about these these engage and these lures if you feel yourself getting smacked Don't set the hook shake the rod Shake it and that that weed guard We'll do its work and then pull it through You won't lose as many jigs either and those jigs are are not really expensive I think the Berkeley jig might be five or six, but I think the thunderhawk grunt might be four five dollars and I think the engage one might be eight or nine bucks But great baits to use in the month of August So lastly on the swim jig if you really want to take it to another level Get one of those really soft Plastics as a trailer something like the Elaztech goat from z-man Those baits are very soft. They're very buoyant too. So you put that bait on a swim jig And it'll sink to the the sea floor slower than most Because it's so buoyant and it has a lot of air in it It will tend to make the fall of the jig slow down now. That's very important very important Because if it goes down so fast they don't just don't see it So if you use something that makes the fall rate slow down You're going to find yourself getting more bites. They'll bite it on the the fall They don't you they will bite it on the the bounce up, but a majority of the time Bass will eat it on the fall. So that is an extra tip But it probably shouldn't be telling everybody about So thanks for hitting that like and subscribe button comment below and tell me what three baits you use in August I'd love to know again Remember take a kid fishing get your fish on Good luck fishing in august seriously Hope you catch some studs.
