Fishing in the heat

[Beenslayin]

Tired of waiting on it to cool down. Taking a couple of days off so I have a plan. Bought an artic zone misting fan that sits in a 5 gallon bucket in the boat. Going to follow the shade. Bought some red wigglers to try and score on some eating size bream. I haven’t bought a Bimini top for my G3 yet but am going to make the best of it. With it being so warm, Do you guys think I should fish my bobbers close to the bank or in 8-12 ft of water?

Try a rag with ice wrapped up in it,,,,get it wet,,,,around the neck,,,,you'll stay cool,,,,I would say that they would probably be deeper,,,,

Just had a full moon I think, probably find some on the bed again. Rig you up an umbrella. Might stretch out your fish time. I go from daylight till about 10-11

Going tomorrow, myself to catch a mess of squealers for a fish fry. I have a floppy hat and a cool rag for the heat. Plus PLENTY of water and Powerade. Squealers bite good in this heat.

I like night fishing this time of year.

I like taking people/kids fishing while I sit in my truck with the AC wide open.

Don’t even try until after 8:00 pm.

Ok I know you are fishing and I am going to bite. What is a squealer!

Eating size channel cats ( 1-5 lbs)...they go to grunting when you land 'em...

 

[Swamprat]

Catfish far as I know....in this heat they will eat while other fish shut down except now with full moon the shellcrackers will be on a bed and are easy to catch. Not as heavy bedding this late but some will.

Dutch beat me to it....

 

[Dutch]

Yep...some of my best days catching them have been hotter than a $2 pistol...if you can stand the heat you can catch a tailgate full.

 

[James12]

Shellcrackers most likely are done, bluegills out a few feet deeper still bedding.

Yep, me too. On the three nights before a full or new moon.

Ain't nothing like having the quiet peace of night time suddenly violated by the sound of a bass blowing up on a jitterbug.

I second this, some of my best fishing trips growing up were in a farm pond on a full moon night in July
