Welcome to another episode of Before the 1st Cast! In this week's segment, we break down the ultimate 1-2 punch for early August bass fishing to help you conquer the dog days of summer. We reveal exactly how to target the early-morning topwater bite and hunt the bass in the shade. Stop struggling in the summer heat and start catching kickers! We also dive deep into the latest professional tournament action. Get the full recap of Zack Birge’s impressive wire-to-wire win at the MillerTech NPFL Stop 5 on the St. Lawrence River. Plus, we break down the MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Stop #6 on Lake Champlain, where Cal Lane secured a historic victory. We celebrate Banks Shaw clinching his incredible back-to-back Angler of the Year title, and congratulate the five pros—Ryan Lachniet, Connor Jacob, Carter Nutt, Brody Campbell, and Will Harkins—who officially earned their invites to the Bass Pro Tour.
