Hottest Day of the Year Fishing July 2021

 


It was absolutely one of the hottest days of the year today.  I went out for a few hours after work tonight.  Success as you can see!  I tried the Zoom Flukes for about 10-15 minutes with no luck.  So I moved to the good old trusty Texas Rig Worm.  Boom!  I was able to catch some fish.


Black Zoom Trick Worm for the first bass of the day. Good size bass. These are the 6-inch Zoom Trick Worms if you were wondering.  This is one of my favorite lures of all time.  I have a ton of confidence with it, and have not picked it back up since last fall.  It was fun to rig it up and catch fish again with it. I normally will use a 3/16oz black tungsten weight from Academy Sports H20 brand.  They are low profile, and gives the worm the optimal "drop" or "sink" rate that I think the fish really like.



The second and third bass I caught was on a Zoom Ol' Monster 10 and a half-inch worm in the Red Shad color.  These bass were bigger too!  They were both above 2 pounds.  Bigger bass definitely go after the bigger presentations.  I have had smaller bass go after these, but they definitely attract the bigger bass in this specific pond.  Again, I was using a 3/16oz tungsten weight.  I don't like to add a ton of weight because I like the drop speed to be slower.

I hope you are all successful in your fishing adventures and thank you for reading!  Stay committed, stay driven.
