Up North here, we have very 100+ degree days. This week is calling for two 90 degree days. Tougher fishing. Once the water near the shoreline (lillies, hydrilla, included) reaches about 67+ degrees I find that I catch much fewer fish. Once it gets to this temperature I don't even fish it.

During these periods I catch many less fish, and they are mostly smaller.

The only thing I have found to catch bigger fish is fishing deepr water/cooler temperatures.


I do this by fishing the large drops 6 FOW to 20'something FOW.

OR

By fishing springs or feeder creeks in which bring cooler water into the body of water I am fishing. This goes for any type of fishing (Trout, Salmanoids, Small and Largemouth Bass). Not only does it keep the water temperature down but it is constantly brining new forage into the water for the fish to feed.



Good luck C7.
