It is June 2022, and it is hot, hot, hot. Here in the midwest of the USA, the forecast is saying we are in the second week of a heatwave that may go for another two weeks. It has been 99 degrees twice in the last two weeks, before the heat index! It is about 114 degrees if you calculate that in.
What I have learned about this time of year is it is critical to know WHEN to fish during this time. Your excursions should be early, early morning or at night. If you cannot get up and be on the water by 6am, good chance you will miss the bite from the biggins'.
I caught this one in the morning around 7:00am. This specific pond is notorious for producing tanks, but they are also very finicke. You can get skunked at this pond very easily, LOL. They wanted the Rage Craws in the black and blue color this morning.
I had planned on going to some strip pits that are about 45 minutes away with the Bass Raider, but I slept too late. I also didn't set the alarm clock, so I guess I wasn't that serious, LOL. But it was a good trade off catching the tank in the picture. She was 4lbs on the scale. I also had another one that I believe could have been even bigger...got it about 4 feet from the bank and my line snapped, LOL. Definitely not the way I wanted to end that excursion today, but I will take it!
Stay Committed, Stay Driven!
