Re: Hot weather struggles

All my fish have been deep on jigs, if any were in shallow water they were
stuck up in the weeds and hitting spinnerbaits when I pulled them through,
stop and pause retrieve has been working well. I have had real good success
with terminator stainless series, particularly the red checker pattern. I
have been throwing FLW jigs and using the bottom half of the zoom brush hogs
as a trailer.. fishing at night in the shallows has been fun and
cool......:-)
