our presentations around these structures to
more deeper techniques that target the lower
cooler waters. A great rule of thumb is when the
surface water temperatures are over 80 degrees
during the middle of the day, you should fish
deeper presentations. Some great techniques to
present baits to these deeper dwelling fish are
Carolina rigs, drop-shot rigs, jigheads, and sliding corks. All of these present the bait at the
lower part of the water column where the water
has higher salinity, cooler temperatures, and
more bait. All predator fish will tend to get
lethargic during the warmest part of the day if
they stay on the shallower flats and reefs, but if
they locate themselves in deeper waters, their
metabolism remains steady and they will tend to
feed longer and more aggressively.
August is a month when many anglers
have a tough time locating good numbers of fish
because they fish shallow where there are only a
few stragglers that tolerate the warm waters; but
if you just think about where fish would move to
locate themselves in cooler water, right at your
same familiar “spot” or structure, you’ll find that
your catch will increase substantially from past
trips, even during the heat of the summer!
