NorthFloBassin Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 With the hot weather and lethargic fish I don't know what to throw when the going gets tough. Any baits selections for these hot summer bass in sallow lakes where fishing deep isn't a choice. Let me know Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted June 9, 2014 Super User Posted June 9, 2014 Reaction baits! But if you don't wanna go down that road you could try finesse. Quote

Super User MCS Posted June 9, 2014 Super User Posted June 9, 2014 Texas rigged worms, fished slowly, always works for me. X2...most likely the OP is fishing too fast, bottom drag them, I mean crawl them. Worm choice all depends, I used mag trick, trick, rattlesnakes, ribbontails. But slow the retrieve down. Also if worms don't work a baby brush hog or small craw like a incredi craw or bb cricket worked the same way. snails pace wins the race Quote
5 Dollar Fishing Game Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Senko Senko Senko Senko. And if that doesn't work, try a Senko. Slow and finesse. 2 Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 9, 2014 Super User Posted June 9, 2014 There is no "right" answer to your question, you can either burn the water with cranks n´spinnerbaits retrieved as fast as you can looking for reaction strikes or slow down to arthritic snail pace with soft plastics and jigs. Quote

Chris9999 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Ive always found the more lethargic they get the bigger the baits and the slower fished gets em biting better. Quote
NorthFloBassin Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 NIGHT TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME! When the May full moon rolls around I start night fishing! Only problem with that is that tournaments aren't fished at night..... Quote
Scorchx1245 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Shaky heads! Drop shots! Deep cranks! And morning top water! My three new favorite things I've been using a senko with great success too wacky rigging in ipenings of heavy grass or Texas rigged around lay downs and docks Quote

Super User MCS Posted June 10, 2014 Super User Posted June 10, 2014 Zoom Centipede with a 1/8 or 1/16 ounce mojo sinker. or wacky with a little nail in one side....this is one of the only baits I fish wacky. Quote
mod479 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 or wacky with a little nail in one side....this is one of the only baits I fish wacky. Does it stay level or drop to a side and glide down ? Quote
Super User MCS Posted June 10, 2014 Super User Posted June 10, 2014 Does it stay level or drop to a side and glide down ? one side it is a slide and glide and if you shake/giggle it wiggles harder on that side. a small nail in both ends gives you a faster level fall. 1 Quote
mod479 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Nice thanks for explaining. Gonna give that a shot this weekend instead of throwing just senkos Quote
TNBassin' Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 A RES or a shakey head usually works for me when they don't wanna feast. Tossed a senko a couple days ago when the bite was slow and it worked wonders. Still can't wrap my head around how much bass like senkos. Quote
