June brings warming water and changing conditions, which put crankbaits on center stage. These five will help you catch more bass straight through the dog days of summer.

A @WRB summer tip from a few summers ago: crank your electronics sensitivity up and find the thermocline. It'll be a fairly obvious fuzzy. Don't fish deeper than that, there's limited oxygen and probably no bass. 

 

A @Catt summer tip - find the intersection of the thermocline and structure and you're likely to get on some nice fish. 

 

Both of these really transformed my summer fishing. 

 

My tip - if you have grass, outside weed edge has always been productive when it gets hot. Might be right on the edge, might be a little further out depending on the water clarity and water temp. More clarity and hotter both drive them out, because out is deeper. I think a bunch of these outside weed edge fish are really shallow fish driven out by the heat.
