July

It’s best to concentrate your bass fishing in July to early in the mornings and late in the afternoons/evenings. In the early mornings, you can fish topwater baits, especially above submerged weeds and around stumps. Later, consider fishing with some deep-diving crankbaits, especially if you’ve found good submerged structure. If the crankbaits aren’t producing reaction strikes, revert to a weighted soft plastic, like a jig meant to imitate a crawfish. Twitching a crawfish along a rock structure in 15-20 feet of water is often an offer even the most finicky largemouth cannot refuse.
