Catch Fish All Day! Targeting Bass With High Sun And Hot Weather!
Come along for a fun day on the water as we adapt to high sun and hot temperatures! Watch closely as we run different patterns early and midday to adapt to the changing conditions. Its easy to continue catching fish throughout the day if you use the sun to your advantage and make the right adjustments!
This time of year a lot of anglers go fishing in the early morning and then head for home before the pleasure boats arrive and midday temperatures rise. Unfortunately for them, midday is often the best bite of the day! High temperatures and high sun push shallow bass into very predictable locations around heavy cover. Targeting shadows and overhead cover is a great way to catch these fish!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. We've included Matt's travel combos, as well as the exacts hooks, colors, etc... for the lures the guys had success with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
