Heat wave records have been broken out west with no relief in sight. Our highs have been near 88 with heat index near 95, so it's off the water by 1 pm. Still thought the bite has been good with anywhere from 40 fish solo to 89 fish between the two of us per outing.

Trout Magnet is a good lure but IMO the Crappie Magnet size has its advantages.


Is this the swimbait design you were referring to? :

It's been catching bass and crappie.

The water you fish in must be in the 80's surface temperature. Bet earlier-the-better just like in NY. 7am-2pm gets it done except recently with clouds and breeze making air temperatures comfortable most of the day as cold fronts are moving in.

Good luck.
