July 2011 Fishing

The weather has been a major factor these last few weeks. Temps in triple digits & heat index has touched 123! Fishing has remained solid w/ occasional bursts of spectacular. I have had the good fortune to get out with clients & friends many times over the last 10 days & we have averaged one fish 4 lbs or better every 7 hrs of fishing. This is not unusual for Angler’s Paradise during the dog days of summer. Big plastic worms & jigs w/ the Zoom Super Chunk (Flippin Blue color) have been producing best. The deep crankbait bite should start soon and that can really make for some eye-popping big fish trips.

The lake is full & stable, but we will need some rain soon as evaporation is about to exceed run in from the groundwater.
