RE: HOT DAWG DAYS ...NEED HELP
 
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..

My suggestion would be to take up bluegill fishing since they never seem to slow down. Or find a nice comfortable recliner in the air conditioning.

My plans exactly..:)

May I also suggest using a big umbrella and a fan wired to your trolling motor battery, may make it a lil' more tolerable.:D

On days when the temps are going to be in the 100+ range, I fish topwater very early in the morning and late in the evening. Usually a Heddon torpedo or a frog. During the middle of the day, try bluegill or catfish, because the bass aren't doing much.

If the temperature gets over the 110+ range, even the bluegill and catfish start slowing.
