summer bass I couldn't catch any fish, nothing Nada, Zilch

Hi everyone,

 

Just want to kinda report last couple times I was out in southern CA for bass fishing. I was trying everything I mean top water in mornings and try Trig multiple worms and creatures and jigs and jerk baits and crank bait and spinner and buzz bait  deep to shallow, grass submerge and mated surface frogs and pop-r and punching, even I got some bluegills and hook to circle hook as live bait, NOTHING. I can see them they follow glide and large swim baits ONLY FOLLOW no bite, I did use tubes as well I got 1 bit on tube and not hook. I used night crawlers Carolina rigging, 2 bites no hook.

That was it, I am giving it a break today, starting next week going out on 24 hours camping style fishing in a lake as well. Thats brutal so hard, I never thought I can get nothing in 3 trips, The good news is I am not giving up and going to continue, how about you guys, how you doing?

Summer doldrums, it's happening to a bunch of us from time to time.  Water temps here are close to 90*.

A slump. Most of which you can not control. Every MLB player has been in a slump. The just hit their way out of it. 
 

“Never give up” as Ike would say. You said you were not giving up. You will work your way out of it. You’ll be ok.

The summer bite is a lot like the winter bite, it separates the proverbial men from the boys, because only those willing to persevere through lots of L's are going to figure out how to get their share of W's, keep at it and try to analyze what happened on a given day, what did you do well? Things you think you could have done better, it's a journey, sometimes it's a rough one, but I bet you can figure summer bass out just like lots of other folks have.

This time of year is tough , temperature heats up quick . Fish don't seem to react to lures the same way 2 days in a row . This is the time of year I read bass forums , try methods that I read about that I never tried , and buy some of the new lures that are new to the market . Hang in there and good luck .
