use black 10" rubber worms with a 3/8 oz worm weight and 5/0 worm hook. look for deep weedbeds (15-25 feet). Drop the worm down into the pockets in the weeds and jig it up and down a few times. Deeper water stays cooler, so bass down there will be a little more active.
Pitching 1/2 oz jig and pigs (rubber trailer, no pork) into heavy cover will work too. Look for dingy water and lily pads. A little trick i like is to cast over a lily pad, and bounce the jig up and down while your line lays across the lily pad.
big rubber scum frogs can also entice bass out of heavy cover, even on hot days.
look for cool water entering a lake as well. a stream may cool off that section of the lake and make the fish less lethargic.

Yeah, a grenade or two in the water should do it, but if you want to catch live bass, i'd have to go with worms. A good way to store live worms is by getting a plastic container, punch a few holes in the lid. Then fill it with egg shells and soggy newspaper instead of dirt. Then, you should put the worms in the refridgerator. Shiny spinners and stuff are also pretty good, but it depends how deep the fish are.
Good Luck

I use the deep runner "Rapala" looks like a minnow and just troll. Plastics worms are an all time classic. Normally I on the water at daylight as this when they feed best. By 8 or 9 I finished for the day as the Bass are too. Then around sunset you can try again as they go for a before bed snack.

Bass will chew all 12 months lengthy and that's no comedian tale. you're able to do your maximum suitable Bass fishing from shore with a Rattle seize and a 17 lb try do no longer fish with a lighter line once you're Bass fishing and there's a explanation for that. Your odds are huge which you will land into an incredible 12 to fourteen lb Bass in the moring from the shore with a Rattle seize 3/8 ounce. so which you desire the potential to deliver him in and carry him so as that he doesn;t ruin out although, he might merely leap out and away he is going. in case you fish in the warmth of the summer season from shore, your maximum suitable odds would be a lots added solid needed to realize out further from the shore and this might take a lengthy cating reel with a 12 lb attempt to additionally you employ suited water in elementary terms no traps because of the fact in case you employ a seize the opportunities he will snap your line. undergo in strategies Traps on 17 lb attempt to suited water on 12 lb teast. while Bass chew suited water they wont get that line of their mouth and you have a sturdy chane of touchdown him. the only time I swap up is as quickly as I fish early in the monring around 3:00 till solar up and that i take advantage of 17 lb try for the main superb water at that think approximately elementary terms., there is explanation for this. Bass will actually swallow the excellent darn factor. in the wintry climate time Bass are slow, yet they too will swallow an entire rattle seize rather of biting it like they do in the summer season. Bass do no longer consistently swallow their prey first..they chew it and launch it and then come arojnd and hit him puzzling and at that factor they swallow it. because of the fact of this distinctive fisherman lose Bass utilising stay bait becasue the attempt to set the hook too quickly. in the experience that your utilising stay bait, supply him time to swalllow it this is approximately 3 minutes and if he starts to swim away launch your line without hesittation and enable him bypass and consume it down then set your hook.

Soft plastics or a jig and pig. Dog days are tough to fish, but they will still eat. On days like these its best to wait and fish at night. The big fish will eat later at night. They will move up in the shallows to feed. A black spinnerbait, or worm will work. But my favorites at night are a jitterbug, buzzbait and frog baits. HOLD ON!!

Use large deep diving crankbaits with a wide wobble. Fish deep water humps and ledges near channels. You can also flip jigs or worms into heavy emergent cover like pads or grass to find these fish.

Belive it ro not no matter howq hot it gets, Bass will strike. Remmber that.
Now if your having a heat wave wuith 102 heat index, I would prefer to hit the lake early in the morning around 3:00am and rock and roll.

use a bright color yum dinger or a bright color crank bait...these will give you the best chance at catching a bass deep. You can also try a bright colored spinnerbait with 2 blades, but let it sink down really far and then retrieve slower than normal
good luck
