Pro Tips to Find Big Bass Deep & Shallow in Late Summer

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of the Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast, pro bass angler Bob Downey breaks down the exact decision making process he uses before he ever makes his first cast of the day. We dig into how he decides whether to start shallow or deep, and how he decides between throwing a moving bait to cover water or slowing down with a finesse presentation on the bottom.Bob walks through the real factors that go into these calls: water temperature, seasonal patterns, water clarity, forage location, fishing pressure, and current conditions. We also get into what happens when those two decisions conflict, like when everything points shallow but everything also points slow, and how he adjusts on the fly once his starting game plan doesn't produce.📌 Important Links:Bob's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobdowney_/📌 Baits Discussed (Click the link and use code SERIOUS10 for 10% off your order):Neko: Rapala Janitor (https://omnia.direct/aertn)Heavy Jig: Strike King Hack Attack Jig (https://omnia.direct/arth)Crankbait: Rapala DT (https://omnia.direct/eatj)📌 Check out Serious Angler Network lifestyle and podcast apparel here: https://seriousanglernetwork.com/📌 Click here to start your FREE trial of Omnia Fishing Premium PRO: https://omnia.direct/SAPremiumPRO📌 This episode is brought to you by our amazing partners:• If you're a fishing guide, check out the Bloodknot App here: https://www.bloodknotapp.com/• Amped Outdoors Lithium Batteries (https://ampedoutdoors.com/)• RecLending (https://www.reclending.com/): Looking to buy a boat or RV?
