Alright, let’s talk about catchin’ them bass, especially when it’s hot out. You know, when the sun’s beatin’ down and them fish are hidin’ deep. I ain’t no fancy fisherman, but I’ve caught my share, and I know what works.
First off, them crankbaits. Yeah, the ones that wiggle and wobble. I heard tell of some fancy ones called “Berkley Frittsides” or somethin’. Don’t know much about that, but any crankbait that dives down deep can get them bass movin’. You gotta get it down where they are, see? Especially in the summer when it’s hot, them bass like to go deep where it’s cooler.
- Lipless crankbaits are good too. They make a lotta noise and vibration, and that can get a bass’s attention even in murky water.
- And don’t forget them spinnerbaits. Them shiny blades flashin’ and spinnin’, they look like little fish, and bass love to chase ’em. Especially good when there’s a bit of wind, makes them blades dance.
Then there’s them jigs. Them skirted jigs, they look like crawfish or somethin’, and bass eat them crawfish up. You gotta fish ’em slow though, bounce ’em along the bottom. That’s where them big ol’ bass are hangin’ out.
Now, when it comes to plastic worms, well, they always work. Texas rigged, Carolina rigged, wacky rigged, I don’t know all them fancy names. Just put a hook in it and drag it along the bottom. Slow and steady wins the race, that’s what I always say. You gotta be patient, you know? Bass ain’t always jumpin’ in the boat.
And when the sun starts goin’ down, or early in the mornin’, that’s when them topwater frogs come in handy. Nothin’ like seein’ a bass explode on a frog. Gets your heart pumpin’, that’s for sure. You gotta twitch it and pause it, make it look like a real frog swimmin’ across the top.
The thing is, you gotta try different things. Some days they want it fast, some days they want it slow. Some days they like bright colors, some days they like somethin’ more natural. I heard tell them bass like blues and greens and oranges, stuff like that. But sometimes, a plain ol’ black worm works just fine.
And don’t forget about the water temperature. Them bass, they like it warm, but not too warm. Somewhere between 55 and 85 degrees, I reckon. When it gets real hot, they go deeper, like I said. So you gotta adjust your fishin’ to that.
Swimbaits are another good choice, especially if you want to catch bigger bass. They look like real fish, and them big bass, they like a big meal. You can fish ’em slow and steady, or you can reel ’em in faster, tryin’ to get a reaction strike.
So, there you have it. Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, plastic worms, topwater frogs, and swimbaits. That’s what I use to catch bass in the hot weather. And remember, patience is key. You ain’t gonna catch ’em every time, but if you keep tryin’, you’ll get your share.
Just get out there and fish. That’s the best way to learn. And don’t be afraid to try new things. You never know what them bass are gonna bite on. Good luck, and happy fishin’!
