Want to find the big bass during the hot summer months? Then you must learn to punch vegetation for hiding bass. During the hot summer months as water temps rise into the high seventies to mid-eighties, you can find the bigger bass under the many different kinds of weed canopies such as hyacinth, pennywort (marsh primrose), duckweed, moss beds and many aquarium grasses. Under these types of mats, the water temperature is five to six degrees cooler, especially if there is some current.
You need to learn exactly where the bass are in the water column by understanding how the root systems hang differently depending on the type of vegetation. Bass find these mats and live under them for months and are very territorial. Always look for the cleaner weeds with no dead vegetation as they produce more oxygen, attracting more bait and fish. When punching you need to be using the right kind of equipment like heavy rods and 65 to 80 lb. braided line! I also use 1 to 3oz Tungsten weights pegged down to the hook!

Thxs for the content What rod would you recommend as far as length & action?
Thanks for the vid Alan! That is 100% not pennywort. Its water primrose or marsh primrose.
Pennywort leaves look like little hearts.
New to punching, just wondering if work for night time tho ? Thx
I do not see the link taking me to the sight where it shows all of the equipment that you are using in this video on Punching, and the link taking me to the store to purchase it through your site. Thanks P.S. it would be nice if there was a link took me directly to a site with just only showing all of the equipment and baits used in this video, so I can quickly purchase the items. Thanks again!
I see that you are using a G Loomis rod in this video. What model and part number is it. Does using a high quality $$ sensitive rod make a difference in this type of fishing. Thanks.
Besides good info, your vids are also entertaining… Not a fan of punching will try it more thanks to you.
Got one good one today liberty area is so new to me where are some good areas to find that stuff
Thanks, good video, great explaining. I haven't punched much but grass in my area is getting thicker every year so punching is inevitable. Is the brush hog your favorite.
How long do you like your fluorocarbon leader?
Have You ever done any Toung Punching?
Fishing is Fun… Toung Punching Out of this World.
Boy that's a great boat Alan. Great electronics too! Looks like fun
Awesome and great video Alan π. Looks like Snodgrass slough area.
Do you have any info on night fishing for large mouth onhot summer nights
We fish the dragon here in Gloucester Virginia
Looks like you can use a ninja blade for your ghost trolling motorβ¦youβll blast right thru that primroseβ¦LoL. Nice video!!
Thanks Alan, thatβs some great tips, didnβt use the double peg, but I will try it. I always fish Franks and Holland, so there the spots you showed with that type of grass I will definitely get in the mix of the grass.
While punching I too have the grass problem with the ghost. I even have to take the prop off to clean the shaft. Any ideas on weedless that works like minn kota?
BTW nice vid with great tide/depth info.
Wimpys marina from boat ramp go right and then make the 2nd right turn into the channel head down stay on left side of channel of water go down a mile or 2 thank me later guys
Great info thanks
Really great video. Thanks guy. Keep Em Tight
Can you give a million dollar and where you caught all this fish, you said I can ask you anything answer is up to you. Any way I do love your video show.
Another nice vid sir ~
You need one of those new Crown grass cutters for your Ghost⦠less pulling junk off the T motor.. too much work for an old guy!! LOL
Alan , whatβs a good trolling motor for a 19ft Thunderjet boat for doing that type of fishing which isnβt to expensive?
Alan, great video. Absolutely appreciate your knowledge and experience. Gives me some confidence to try and grab a punch fish. Came in and grabbed a couple of those SLX rods from ya last week. As always your shop has everything an angler needs to get them fish. Iβll keep watching and shopping.
What rods would you recommend for punching that are not super high end. Let's say 300.00 or less.
Thanks for the information! Great video! I do have one question. When punching, I tend lose a lot of fish. Any advice on how to have a greater hook-up and landing ratio?
Mr fong tank you for your time and your Reports Iβll like them all have a great day or night congrats
Wow.. Nice.. Great fishing trip and sensations fish strike. Good job friend. ππ
Nice video Alan/ good thing Iβm old and can read lips
ππ€ππ
Nice presentation Alan. Thanks for the tips!
Any other bait that you recommend? Color? Dye on the tips? Scent?
Alan, I notice you seem to use brush hogs pretty much for everything. Any other recommendations for punching as well as Texas rigs and colors for the delta. Great information as usual. Thanks.
Great video thx again for taking the time.
Thanks for the tips Allen
Thanks Alan
