Love seeing this . Thanks Mike. Yeah these fish been shredding our Skipper Toad. To improve the keeling on the bait allow it to sink for 4-5 seconds as it hits the water . It’s hard to wait that long but if you do the bait will right itself belly down and keel correctly

Hey Mike, Thanks for taking us on your adventures. FUN TIMES! I really enjoy seeing the different lakes you fish. I live and kayak fish in Northern Arizona and was thinking about driving down south to fish your lakes. I've fished Canyon lake and Alamo in late October (when it's not so hot) .I'm watching you catch a lot of fish. My question is; in the summer time, are you fishing mornings or evenings only? Do the fish still bite when it's the hottest part of the day, like 12 noon to 4pm?
@flipflopfishingAZ
@flipflopfishingAZ 6 күн бұрын
Hey, thank you and you're very welcome! I typically fish in the mornings. I launch about 30 minutes before sunrise. How long I fish depends on how good the bite is and the weather (mostly wind). In my experience, the bass will bite all day, in fact, sometimes the afternoons are better than the morning.

Bartlett is an overlooked lake IMO; I fish cats there. The water level is dropping like a stone though based on my observations over the last 10 days. I was interested to see in your following video how much water there is in Horseshoe, which, back in the day, was drained to keep Bartlett topped up. Good video; thx.

I fish all year so by the time the real heat arrives I'm acclimated. I drink tons of water the day before and during fishing, wear a hat & UV clothing that covers most of my exposed skin & wear a mask on my face. I also arrive at the lake an hour before sunrise & fish until about noon or so (depends on the wind & how the bite is going). It's not too bad. I never really get hot and I rarely even sweat. It's typically cooler on the water and even better if there's a slight breeze. If all else fails, I dunk in the water to cool off. =)
