Depending on the lake, a spook, or a frog.

Zoom finesse worm rage rigged, mid-day, has worked very well these past two days...

1) 10" worm, skinny dipper and spinnerbait through scattered grass

2) Punching a rage bug or sweet beaver

jigs around docks, especially under ladders!!!!

For the past 30 years I mostly fish at night this time of year. I like to fish from the first quarter through the full moon to the last quarter of the moon phases.

Small rivers are consistently good all day long. Shallow water near current is what I do in summer.

Granted the summers been cool this year in michigan, Texas rig an chatterbait for me. I typically get out at 8-9am an fish till 3 or so.

frogs in the pads and mats

Dog days? What's that? Lol work is in full swing, haven't wet a hook since post spawn.

Typically I'm still pitching jigs and topwaters, just on deeper docks and locating deeper or cooler spots with cover

Crankbait. Keep moving until I find some active fish.
