If it's too hot out, paint will melt. My crankbait painted eyes started drooping. Keep your soft plastics in separate bags by color else the colors will mix due to the heat.
I realized I'm not going to catch a limit or fish at all every trip. If fish aren't biting, practice your cast to specific targets. Or try new lures that I haven't tested out yet. Make every trip a learning experience.
If using cranks, once it bumps something give it a pause to deflect. I used to crank it and drive the hooks in deeper. Surprised you're not able to get it off when fishing on a kayak. You should be able to get it out using other angles.
