Up for a few days with my Canadian friends. Was a struggle with the first heat wave of the year. Shakey heads and the Neko was pretty much all we fished. Had a hot morning on the crankbait but no size.

Although there was an abundance of baitfish in the lake, the bass were still feeding on craws. Most of the bass I caught that day had intenas sticking out of their throats! The key that day was just to let the jig crawl over every rock slowly and they were picking it up!

Fishing was slow for us in 100+ degree days. Got a few every day but had to work hard for them. Only fished a few hours each morning. Started with topwater and crankbaits with only a couple, after that it was all dropshot. Had to run mid lake to find decent clean water.

What a difference a week makes, still hot but they were chewing! Was getting 15-20 every morning and evening with many over 4# including 3 pushing 6#. Neko rig was the main player but got some cranking. Used that Mustad Alpha hook again with great success.
