RE: what do you use for bass? plugs or jigs or worms?
I went today after church...the old timers here have one way of catching hawgs in super hot summer conditions..ON ARTIFICIAL If your lucky enough to get a breeze....drift through deep water with 2 rods...each with a rubber worm on it..You may get 1 or 2 hits in 4 hours..[
]..but they are generally quality fish..I did that today..Sure enoughI got 2 great hits...and both caught me off guard..[:@]you go 2 hours with out a hit than WHAM!!! rod tip in the water and I pull up 1 inch piece of rubber worm..The last hit I said ,"Darn ..I'm hung up in hyrilla.".as I pulled sharplyto get unhung..
something pulled twice as hard in the other dirrection...ok live and learn
I did put one small one in the boat ..It was very hot today..
Answer...RUBBER WORM ..and red shad

All mentioned above will work, some may work better than others at different times though. I also like to use crankbaits, rubber frogs and mice, as well as poppers with a fly rod in hand. Most anything will work if fished right even the good ol trusty daredevil.. Good Luck to you.

My favorites are a 6" Pumpkin-Seed "Texas Rigged" worm
and
a Silver / Blue "Floating" Shad Rap.
Top water is a Medium sized Jitter-Bug (Black top white belley)
You might even catch some small mouth with these!
