words by // Dan O’Sullivan
O
ne of the most often overlooked
tools for bass fishing in the summertime is a shallow crankbait. Many
anglers think of crankbaits in the hot months,
but they usually are envisioning deep water
offshore targets that require a deep diving
crankbait to get to them.

To limit the thought of crankbait fishing to only
deep water this time of the year is to make a
mistake. The reason that anglers should really
think about incorporating shallow crankbaits
into their game plans in the summer months is
because a significant population of bass stay
shallow year round.
