Summer Time Specks

[sunshine]

Funny how many people think you can only catch them in the fall/winter. I've heard everything from they go vegan to they "hibernate."

What are your favorite methods for catching them in the heat? I see Marv hammered em spider rigging yesterday, I see skeet is still catching them on ultralight jigs in the river.

I've been thinking I want to bust out the longlining setup and go try and find a few. Do you guys do anything different than you would in early season?

I tend to fish for real fish in the summer time. Crappie are my play toy on 1# test when the general time of year dictates the weather is garbage offshore.

My bite that I have been enjoying for a few months has changed. The flow and color of the river has changed a lot and the little jigs just don't fall the same. I guess I'm going to get a little heavier, probably 1/32 for that trip. Next time I go I'm either going to give the flyrod a workout or go to Monroe and do the longline thing. I believe both will have me eating fish for dinner. Let us know how you do when you go.

vertical jigging. moving from spot to spot.

Follow the bait trail. Find school of shad on graph, crappie will always be close by.

Longline while riding around looking at the graph for bait. If I catch some I will come back and spider rig the area if the bite cuts off.

If I was headed out this weekend I would be looking for wood with green weeds piled up on it and dip every lil hole I could poke a jig through. That didnt work I would go looking for flows coming out the woods into side creeks. Spiderrigging legdes and humps on Monroe would get ya bit with a large dose of sunburn to go with it but they out there.

Old Standby for me has always been Mayflys. Use to catch them all night long around the streetlights along the lakefront.

Nite time deep holes

Has anyone tried to push shallow running crank bait. Are the lakes too shallow for that? just a thought.
