Hot summer days? Sorry we have not had anyhere.. Just rain, rain, and more rain is all we have been getting.. During our hot summer months when fishing is slow, I look for under water structure that is down deep. I like to just set there and jig off the bottom. Although it is slow once you find where the big fish is at they will bite somewhat. They tend to feel like little fish tapping away at the jig. Just make sure you set the hook at the right time. You can still get some big ones that way up here anyways..
