What do I Fish with When the Bass Won’t Bite?

Bass Fishing from a Jon Boat – Realistic Fishing with a Texas Rig

Bass Fishing from a Jon Boat Realistic Fishing with a Texas Rig - Realistic Fishing

In the first episode this week on Realistic Fishing I am bass fishing with a Jon Boat with a Texas Rig. The hot summer weather can make bass fishing tough. I start out fishing a topwater frog (toad) with no luck so I switch to a Rage Tail Structure Bug. I catch a nice largemouth bass behind a stump in the water. I also lose a fish because I forgot to check my line for fray. After tying a new rig and fishing for a while without a bite, I finally get one more small bass. If you try fishing from a jon boat this summer, this just might be realistic texas rig fishing for you too.

Who Sent Fishing Lures to Realistic Fishing? Summer Lure Unboxing

Who Sent Fishing Lures to Realistic Fishing Summer Lure Unboxing - Realistic Fishing

For the second episode this week we see who sent fishing lures to Realistic Fishing. I am doing a summer lure unboxing so watch to see what people sent in to the show! I show off some soft plastics, some topwater frogs, and a vintage case box for a lure they no longer produce. The fishing is very tough right now so I am happy to have lures to check out. Hopefully I can catch a fish on some of these in the future. Thanks again to everyone who sends something fishing related in to the show. Now hopefully it cools off so I can get back out there!

Watch what happened in the video below.

What do I Fish with When the BASS WON’T BITE? Summer Bass Fishing Rig

What do I Fish with When the BASS WONT BITE Summer Bass Fishing Rig - Realistic Fishing

In the final episode of the week find out what I fish with when the bass won’t bite. Summer bass fishing can be tough, so I fish with a confidence rig when I actually want to catch something. Today I start with a topwater frog, but don’t even get a bite. Eventually I leave to try somewhere else with a wacky rig. I manage to catch 2 largemouth bass while fishing near the boat launch. These fish aren’t very big but I am very happy to catch them on a day like today. If you are up for some summer bass fishing, and you are not sure what to fish with when the bass won’t bite, maybe try a good old summer bass fishing rig like a wacky rigged senko.
