I am with you on the "not catchin' much" in hot weather. Ouachita has really treated me bad--even at NIGHT! I think I will take the remainder of August to place a few structures and hoping for the best once the night time temps get to 65 degrees F.

I would hope the specks take that as a hint that they should be gathering at the mouths of the creeks gettin' ready for the fall feed.

Yup, I can FIND 'em....I just can't catch many right now. Been catchin' a few with a drop-shot rig with a jig/minnow combo suspending just above the thermocline. I am so ready for the fall feed.

If you get into them on Dierks, Gillham or DeQueen, be sure and let us know the specifics. Things should break loose here in a few more weeks.
