Hello. I do a lot of fishing in the Colorado river, lake Mojave, lake Havasu and in-between. The summers are well over 100 degrees for about 3 months in the summer. I notice the bass out here almost never hit worms. I've had success with top water frogs, walking spooks, crank baits, flipping and punching plastic trailers, jerk baits, dropshot, and glide baits. Not so much with swim baits. I'd like to know your opinion and what you've had success with In hot places like this. Even if you never have. What would be your go to. Please be specific about your lure selections. I'm not a live bait guy. I only throw artificial baits. Please feel free to add your 2 cents. I'd appreciate it thanks.

I assume the water temp is pretty high also. Unusual that they won't hit a worm. I'm in Fl with hot and humid conditions also. Bass are sluggish and don't really chase anything. Slow moving baits are usually the most productive. I do get tired of fishing a worm all the time though. 🙄

Mike Folkestad Special Roboworm is an excellent color at Mead, Mojave and Havasu. Greens don’t work too well but the Purple with neon do. Drop shot is good to keep the worm above the Quagga mussels.

Another Clear, Smoke and Cinnamon Gitizs with red flake works at Mojave.
