FINDING BASS ON A HOT SUNNY DAY

We were blessed with another hot sunny day today. The temperature was in the high 80's with a bright, calm sky! We got a late start again this morning but still managed to find a couple of smaller Bass in the shallows. I pulled out one of my old favorite lures, a CREEKCHUB PLUNKER! This bait has been out of production for a number of years but can still catch fish! I was pretty careful not to get it hung up for fear I would lose it! I did manage one small Bass on it but that was it! We switched to crank baits and found Bass stacked on a drop that hadn't been effected by the sun. The sun was almost high in the sky but the drop was on the east side of the lake and was still in the shadow of the sun. We took several Bass from this area before we called it a day! I know I'm ready for cooler weather and the return of Fall! Fall is my second favorite season for fishing. The fish are on the feed to store fat for the winter and will be actively feeding and chasing bait into the shallows, back of coves and bays and, if available, up feeder creeks! This is the time I like to use spinner baits and jerk baits. Hopefully, We'll be fishing up to December!
