August Bass Fishing Baits for All Day Fishing 

Best breakdown of August fishing ever!!!! I like how you broke it down by the time of day

Thank you for your service Gene! You have given me a love for fishing again, i can’t thank you enough. My wife on the other hand….lol

Thank you for all the time you take to help us become better anglers. I’m learning so much and enjoying teaching my sons. It is really making a difference.

As a beginner, this is the greatest video on RU-vid lol.

I bet the combo of being cheap + all the sponsors you've built up over the years of hard and honest work is a fun time

"It's 10$ less, im Cheap,by heart I'm cheap. My dad was cheap,I'm cheap" I felt this 😂😅😂😂🤣

Ready to try this out this weekend, these videos have been an amazing find for me.

What time exactly during the late day transition do they stop biting? I think I noticed this where I live. Seems to happen between 12am and 11:59pm.

Thank you for mentioning the choppo. One of my favorite top water baits

Gene, I have been watching your videos for some time, and I like your approach to fishing. This video was top notch and filled with good common sense information on how to fish a day in August. Do more of this stuff! Thanks!

Chatter bait slowroll on the bottom, good information, thx! The bite here in Colorado just stopped this summer. Evening is my favorite time to go. Giving the slow roll a shot this weekend

Can’t tell you how helpful this video is. It can be overwhelming trying to plan a day of fishing and to have a good approach to tactics. Thanks for simplifying the process a bit!

Your positivity and enthusiasm is awesome. Happy fishing!

Appreciate this video, I’ll try a few of those up here in Syracuse, NY💪🏾

Finally!! A video that explains exactly what I need to hear! Thank you for breaking it down and easy to understand!🔥

Thank you brother. I appreciate your information! I've fished as a kid alot, but just threw on night crawlers or Chicken livers. I'm 40 and Just learning how to use different baits, it's discouraging and frustrating when I'm out in my kayak alone and not getting bites bcuz I don't know what bait to use. I just got a chatter bait, and was so happy to go try it, I didn't get one bite the whole 5 hours on my kayak. I need to learn more.

I agree with the time of day breakdown it is very helpful! Caught 2 on a swim jig in mid day

Gene you were the reason I got into RU-vid, love your content and if your ever in Tallahassee FL hit me up would love to show you around the ponds in my town

Gene you are one of my first youtube resources. Always enjoy and learn new things. Thanks so much.

Awesome. This is exactly what I was looking for. Knew you had to have the info I just wasn’t finding it. Thanks for the link and the tutelage. You are the man!

Man thankyou gene your tip videos are so detailed every other tip video I’ve watched didn’t make sense to me but you make it so simple thankyou God bless!!!!

I'm still watching your videos before I go fishing. Keep up the good work

I like the look of that 13 Fishing Joy Stick! Definitely going to pick up some of those. I feel like they'd be equally good for power fishing quickly to cover water or slowing down in a more finesse situation.

Thanks for the suggestions! Going to try these out this weekend. First year getting into bass fishing, and catch a lot of dinks but need to figure out where the big ones live!

February here in the Southern Hemisphere. I find it hard this time of year for some reason. Thanks for the tips, going to try some and improve my late Summer game.

Picked up an Omen Black 7'3" mh extra fast action for plastics and jigs- or about anything I want to snap through the grass- very impressed so far. If it were a little shorter I'd make a frog rod out of it- that extra fast tip is perfect for walking a frog. But- fishing out of my kayak a 7'3" is just too long for froggin. But it snaps jigs through the grass perfectly- I mean spot on perfect. First pop will get it out of the grass and the second clears the bait- and if they hit it on the fall it's plenty sensitive enough to feel it. You feel their mouth shutting on your line- just a little "thump" - time to set the hook. You do have to remember it's a extra fast rod though- when you hit one you can't try to play them- you gotta bo 'em up and just grind 'em in- never stop reeling. It will unload on you "extra fast"- just like it's labeled. The cork is beautiful to- higher grade than what's on my more expensive powell rods. Not that it makes that much difference but- it's pretty. I like shiny things- like all knuckle heads- most just won't admit it. I've got an Origin LTE I'm gonna put on it- 8:1- for light pitching and/or punching and snapping stuff through vegetation. Thanks for turning me on to 13 Fishing Gene- they're really starting to come into their own I think. I saw Gerald swindle using this setup for snatching jigs through grass- one reason i grabbed it. When I saw it I realized I didn't really have a rod that would do that efficiently.

Baits isn’t really the problem. It’s knowing where they go is what’s tricky

Great video Gene, I have been struggling a lot this will help for sure.

Latly I’ve been getting bit on a power bait paddle tail swim bait and it’s whit funny I’ve never really used power bait but this swim bait is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very good presentation can not wait to try. Your plan thankyou

I'm fishing super clear man made lakes in bella vista ar and have been struggling. Throwing fluke jr. Silver ice, ned rigs creature and trick worms, Texas rig creature, craws, worms and finesse worms, also slow rolling cranks. Temp 77⁰ in the morning 105⁰ by noon 20mph wind with med chop

Great video. Summer fishing to me means deep cranking , frogs and whopper ploppers

Lots of Bass in the weeds.... Kayak fishing is good in lower Michigan, yes lots of different baits, thanks for the video

I'm not much of a freshwater fisher, but I like watching your videos. Learning a lot about bass fishing that's for sure. BTW very nice clock you have there.

My favorite RU-vid fishermen. Taught me everything I know!

Thankyou gene this was very helpful I don’t like August either I was wanting to go home the other day I was so hot but I did catch a nice bass

My home lake is Okeechobee and a pittboss with a skirt has got me some big fish lately

Thanks for that video. Really sums up my last couple weeks of fishing, but able to keep the frog out most of the day. Always great content Gene!!

I’m picking up my first decent bait casting outfit in a few hours and getting line put on at the shop! Can’t wait to take it out and land a few on it for the first time! (I’ve used baitcaster before but very cheap ones / old ones where the tension knobs are shot lol)

The tungsten deal is the fact that the weight comes in a smaller pkg. (more efficient) can’t say for sure that it does anything enticing for the fish.

Great video Gene. Your content is always on point from my experience. And I always learn something new. Just learned you’re a Vet. Me too. Thanks for your service! 👊🏼🎣😎

Go dawgs, you are the man when it comes to info for all of us. Thank you for the lesson

Its 11 now ill be fishing by 12 and my first is a swimjig then a texas rig for sure. I had a giant bent my booyah swim jig out the otherday and i had it on a medium heavy 7'3" lews

I've been getting hammered on Rage Bugs in downed trees here lately.

Awesome knowledge! I will be trying these 4 August baits this weekend! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

How do I add a skirt to a worm? What type of jig head? Etc... Will you make a video? It's hot as crap out here in August on the Tennessee River and I want to catch another bass. I've only caught 2 here this year and mostly everything I fish is full of grass. Great video btw. Full of information

If you could get the time consider coming to tenn, and fish a day or two with me on WATTS BARR LAKE. Really would enjoy you coming up and fishing a while with me

What size and type of hook do you use on the large worm?

Fluke master you are the best seen you at rocky l had forgotten my plastic worms you hooked me up great person thanks

Mr.gene thank you so much for your videos. I stop finishing around 30 yours ago an now you have gotten me to want to get back at it.to start fishing again. I would like to see a video of how to set your drag on a bait caster for different baits.im wanting to switch but I am tried of the back latching.lol.thanks again be safe.good luck

Thanks for the help, last week's been a struggle.

Gotta say you've been teaching me how to catch picky fish that won't bite all year long 💯thank you for all the videos

Awesome video! Not sure why it came across this way but you seems like you’re having a lot of fun these days. Keep it up!

Hey 👋 I have been fishing a square nose 2-4, hooking bigger bass now wow can't believe it

Thanks for the tips. Really Appreciate your knowledge of fishing.

I always like watching your videos! Thanks for the great tips!

Awesome thanks would love to see you do a night fishing video on summer and/or early fall you have already help my game so much this summer!!! Went Saturday and landed 9 plus a big bluegill on a sq bill went Sunday and got 12 with my nephew who landed 8 and now he's HOOKED

Awesome video! Appreciate ya sharing you knowledge...kinda new to fishing here.

Thanks for the great hints and what might work. Now let’s see if I can catch a fish this year. Have not got one all summer

More great tips! Thanks buddy. Definitely gonna use these soon.

Awesome video today.. Very informative tips in a short period of time.. I am always having good luck fishing a couple hours before dark.. Like you... The Texas rig is my go to most of the time... Got to get out of that habit..A little... The Frye Guy

Good video an thanks for sharing the knowledge on from a local guy from the Floyd county area ain't you. Keep posting an tight lines bro

Thanks for all

I liked the outline of the video. Tons more info. And I like that it's not a top 5. You bet I'm using that jig and that frog I built up mad confidence this year. 😈

Fantastic breakdown, thanks for posting great content.

Do you ever use a quick clip to change out your rigs? I love your videos, keep going, I’ve learned a lot from you!

Mr. Flukemaster Would it be possible to request a video on Tidal River Bass Fishing and tactics? Oh by the way love your content ever find your self up in Virginia give me a Hollar and maybe you can show me some tidal tactics as the Potomac regularly kicks my butt.

Awesome tips Gene, love it!! 👍👊

Love it. Keep up the great work Gene. God Bless

Thank you for the info… infantry leads the way

0:30 Ha I've been saying that for years. That won my subscription to your channel

Great content as usual. Thanks Mr Gene!

The beard is looking good 😁👌🏻thanks for the video 👍🏻

I have caught some big bass on Jigs. However I have lost a ton of jigs getting hung up on rocks, wood etc. Are swim jigs meant to be retrieved so they don't touch bottom?

Bass fishing is fun.

Thanks for your Service !!!!

Excellent. Thanks for sharing

Nice vid headed to lake Ouachita end of August for a me week or 2, will try out the punch in grass

Please show the baits out of the bag some of us beginners have no clue what you are showing in a bag. Thanks

I pretty much Texas rig a senko all year round

Could you give an apparel/accessory breakdown, for hot weather? What you would recommend or what works for you, to wear to stay cool, but protected when on the water? Shirt and shorts/pants materials, long sleeve vs short sleeve, pros/cons of buffs, hat types (ball cap, boonie, flap cap)? Could even extend to bank fisherman for protection from briars, snakes, thorn bushes that seem abundant in hot weather along water edges (thinking chaps, guards, boots vs sneakers vs water shoes).

Dad: leaves the conversation

Just joined the monsterbass family

I'd like to go fishing with you you ever fishing in Kentucky

We will call him....master :]]] u rock man keep it up.

Great breakdown Gene thx!! 👍

Great video and information 👍💯

This year's hotter so I'm watching this now

Have you tried steel bullet weights? They seem like a pretty good option for someone who is ballin' on a budget, who wants the better reaction of tungsten and the price point of lead.

Gene what jig would you start out with if you had never fished a jig before? Mainly fishing retention ponds in Florida. Thanks again

Great information 👍

You just gotta fish nights or early morning late night like I do then August is just fine.

Man this summer fishing has been rough, averaging 1 a day on a 3-4 hour trip.

I'm gonna keep throwing a crankbait on a falling tide. I tied one on the other day and caught 20+ fish by myself in about 3 hours. They completely shut down about an hour before dark though, which was strange because the tide was still falling.

Thanks for the help

Excellent advice~

goin out today! might as well see what the doctor prescribes for this month 😂

Does the same principles apply if your fishing from shore?

Mr Jensen, can you do a video on night fishing please sir

I saw your truck today!!!
