Brandon and I went out on Tuesday afternoon from 2-5 pm. We fished the area around and near George's Creek. The air temp was 95 F and the water temp was 91 F. The sky was clear and there was virtually no wind. Needless to say, it was tough! We fished deep. We targeted the 15-20 ft zone because that's where the baitfish were.
The lures we used were shakey heads, jigs, deep diving crankbaits, and even a few topwaters in the shady areas.
We didn't catch many fish, but the ones we did catch were quality. We managed 4 fish with 3 being keepers. One largemouth was 2.5 lb, one was 3+ lb and one was a 4+ lb smallmouth. I also caught a big drum on a jig.
I considered it a decent day given the tough, miserably hot conditions. We caught a few good fish and were able to get away from work for awhile. If I went out right now in the same conditions and fished the same area, I would definitely focus on the jig and the topwater.
