While many people don't consider the shakey head worm to be a big fish bait, during the summer months this somewhat finesse rig can put absolute giants in your boat. The whole key is getting the bait to where the big fish live.

If you want to fire up a school of big bass in deep water in a hurry there are few techniques that rival a deep diving crankbait.

While the official first day of summer is not until June 21st, as far as fishing goes summer is absolutely here across the southern half of the United States. With water temperatures in the mid 80's there is no doubt in my mind that the majority of the bass population is living deep. I'm going to break down one of my favorite deep water summer baits, the football jig. A wise man once said, "When you are fishing the bank 90 percent of the fish are behind you!"

While fluorocarbon has honestly become my go to for most fishing techniques and situations, monofilament definitely still has a place on my fishing reels.
