Hey Underground, just wondering what you all throw during summer fishing with big swimbaits. I live out in Southern California and its freaking hot out here...lol...anyways do you prefer swimbaits during the summer months and if so do you throw a shad or bluegill imitation? Thanks in advance.

Glide baits are my favorite baits in summer. I use the S-Waver 168 in a bluegill pattern to catch northern strain bass here. Almost broke my PB last year in July using that bait. 

Also, look at this article: http://www.westernbass.com/shared/mag_wb/wb_mag_summer_2017/page33/index.html

Morning - MS Slammer, Crankdowns, and Glides

Mid-day - Real Preys - WRS, Battles Shads, WRS - all 3 with 10/0 Owner Beast Flashy Swimmers

Night - MS Slammer, Crankdowns

 

I am in Massachusetts and these techniques are what I have confidence in / have produced for me this year.

As a Texan, this made me laugh. That's just precious.

 

 

Throw big wakes at night or in low-light. During the day, I mostly throw Rising Sons and glides.

It was around 110° in Santa Clarita for what seemed like forever, probably more like two or three weeks. It's been high 90's to low 100's for the last two months though.

 

That's really unusual, isn't it? I thought the average high for LA in August was around 80 degrees.

This is true. I live in Lancster which is by Santa Clarita and it has been 110 since summer started..  Even at 8 at night its still aroud 92-95 degrees.

Not really, it seems like we spend a month or so every year with the thermometer hitting above 100°.

 

I've been lucky enough to be working out of town for most of the summer though. Mostly in nice, cool places like Las Vegas haha.
