For decades I would go in circles during midday. Bingo a HUGE lone smallie would be slowly cruising around the weed beds edges. She was not concerned about the sun or hot 24" depth. I tossed my floater wit NO hooks on it. She bashed it at high speed. came back and raced up to it. looked at my boat. Farted And continued her patrol for a careless meal. I do not cast to a patrolling lone fish. They are not able to keep up with the faster swimming schools of fish. I let them die of old age.
I can think like that being 83 1/2 years old.
Live minnows or any other fish as bait WILL always out fish a lure. THe fish REALLY do know the difference between lures & their Lateral line NOT SENSING a heart beat or not darting away as they approach slowly in shallow water. If starving or in poor health ? They may bite
.Most people do not know how to use live bait in August.
