Hello,
First of all English isn’t my main language so sorry if I make any mistakes with some terms or measures since I’ll try to put everything in both metric and imperial units.
I live in Portugal (Europe) in the southern part, I have a decent sized dam near my place and fished some bass there, usually not too big, the biggest I’ve seen was about 2kg (4,4 pounds).
In the heat of summer it seems harder to catch any bass (I don’t care if I catch big or small ones I just wanna have more bites).
So basically my main question is, what sort of bait should I be using and what techniques?
I usually love using a senko worm on a size 1 hook since I’ve had a lot success on the past with it on another local lake. Sometimes I also like to throw a jig head tail grub or the occasional creature Texas rig.
Below I’ll add a picture of the dam in question (idk if it will help)
There’s some depth to it and some decent vegetation in some areas but not too much.
I also wanna add that the current temperature of the air in the summer is between 35-41 degrees Celsius or 95-105 Fahrenheit.
Any tips on what to use, where to focus, hook sizes and bait sizes would be lovely. Again I’d like options that allow for both small and big bass to bite.
Thank you so much and sorry for bothering with noobie questions.
As reference my PB on my local places is about 1.7 pounds or 800 grams. (Bass don’t get huge here like I said previously or at least that I’ve seen) I just wanna fish for fun not records. But a good size local record wouldn’t hurt 🫡😁.
Again thank you so much for any help.
