Summer Fishing

If you fish on a large river system in the south, the water temps are starting to reach the mid 80's by mid day this time of the year. This makes the bass on the move throughout the day. Starting in the early mornings the bass will be in the shallows feeding, but as soon as the sun comes out they will start moving towards the deeper ledges and cooler water. I have been successful with using lipless crank-baits in both the shallows and deep water throughout the day. Although as the water temps rise this will also change your speed in which you fish. In the early morning and cooler water you can pull that crank-bait through the water at a good pace. but as they move deeper you'll need to slow down the speed and go deeper.

Good luck!

Lure Storage

Almost every fisherman that uses hard baits or crank baits, have the same problem. Where do you store them. You can buy hard cases that can be stored in your bait compartments of your boat. But they take up room and add weight.

Some boats have foam made under the lids of the storage compartments of the boat. Most fisherman use this foam to hook their baits into, although after a period of time the foam will rip out from the hooks. The foam also doesn’t hold the baits all the time, they will come loose and fall out.

I have figured out a way to store these baits and they won't giggle loose. I used aluminum so it won't rust and it very light weight. I have one in almost all the lids of storage compartments of my boat. It also makes it easy to keep an inventory of what you have on hand.
