Anyone have any good summer tips or techniques to use in this hot weather? 85 degree water temps may be chasing them deeper? Any thoughts?
USAF Retired and fishing!
They can only go as deep as the thermocline will allow them to go.
They still have to eat, so ...... find the baitfish schools = find the fish. Trolling crankbaits works well in the warmer water temps.
Can't take the heat .... fish at night, under lights. Or fish shaded banks in the early AM, late PM hours ... concentrating on cover on deeper, steeper angled banks.
