shallow CRanks suMMer Crank 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. Page 7 | Fishhound Mag 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.
