Best Early Summer Largemouth Lures

Featured Replies

It is quickly turning into a question of where do you go for good fish at this time of year, as opposed to what you throw. Find good breaklines, points, and humps, and fish a variety of lures across, down, and up these lake structures. Find 5 good spots, with brush and/ or stumps, and set up a milkrun. Throw a variety of lures, from swimbaits to drop shots.

hi_steel is right. Post spawn is all about temperature trends and location. Define those, and choose the lure that will fish the conditions. If you're river fishing, add current to the equation

I dont really consider right now early summer, but right now is post spawn, to me.  Early summer, atleast here in KY, seems to be either later this month or early next month when the water warms up more.  Then my go to baits are natural colored tx. rigged soft plastics, chart./white spinnerbaits, and rattletraps.  Also, while im not very good at topwaters (its my challenge for May), I hear this is the time of year to tie on a spook.

captaininsaneo,  good choice of goal for this month.  Tie on a spook and walk it straight back to the boat.  After several fish you can establish a pattern and change up you retrieve based on that.  If you cant walk the dog, tie on a Rapala popper.  Those are easy to work, and my PB was caught on one.  Throw it anywhere you like just make sure that you let it sit about 10 secs before you start your retrieve. Another good choice for summer fishing would be a rattletrap, big spinnerbaits, and 8"-12" t-rigged worms.  I like red shad or tequila sunrise in darker water and green pumpkin in clearer water.
