Where I fish has been loaded with weeds, so I cant use the good ole crank bait in this hot weather. So I have been using alot of hard jerkbaits and slashbaits and have been very successful.

I decided I would try a fluke. Never used one before so I got a 4in small one I could rig with a 2/0 and test out. If I got confidence in it I would bulk up of course. Well after they ripped the front where I couldnt T-rig it anymore I decided to whacky rigged it to try and make it flounder a bit on the surface and then let it drop...

Turns out, I was getting more aggressive strikes that when I had it rigged regular. Now the place I fished is running rampant with 10in Bass but I also had a 3/4lb gill hit it.

What is everyone else using right now with the heat the way its been?
