I'm a newly retired novice fisherman. Went out with Tom Todd last fall and he taught me a butt load about crappie fishing. At that time we were fishing the wood, deep. I missed the spawing due to boat trouble. THEN the temps have spiked to extreme highs.
I thought I could catch some bluegill at will. (WRONG). Just started trying to bass fish but really don't know what I'm doing. I haven't had a sucessful trip since it got hot.
Any suggestions?? Please, stying home is not an option. I've got 8 grand kids itching to fish.

Thanks
