Hey Chris,

Unless your a die hard lure fisherman, what works for me in the dog days it
seems, is fishing the breaks that you know normally hold fish with a slip
bobber and shiner. Pitch right to the weed lines. (I've been finding them
in about 15 to 18 feet of water in daylight) I agree with you, the fish are
very lethargic lately, understandably with this weather! I've been pulling
some decent fish lately with this method though. I too like fishing lures
mostly, but during the day, it is tough. At night time, back to the
Pop-R's, Jitterbugs, or dark colored Plow Jockey's, Carolina rigged and
worked slow!
Good Luck!

Hope this helps and keep us posted!,

Doug

Hey all, I have to be honest, I have been struggling during this warm
snap. I have been fishing, rocks, weeds, drops offs, and everything in
between. Fishing has just been terrible. Water is low, we are in drought
conditions here actually, and it has been hot!!!! 90's and humid. I have
been fishing areas that have historically produced for me, but there are
slim pickins! I am finding schools of shad, even fish feeding on them,
but they are all small. The Walleye guys are struggling, we have no
current in our river, so when an east wind blows it backs up our river and
makes things even worse.

I am going out tonight, armed with a push pole and I hope I can pull a few
out of the more dense weeds that hardly get touched.

If anyone has any tips for this kind of situation please share :-D

Chris
