Stay cool,it's pretty dang hot.I just mowed my daughters yard at Eufaula and I felt like I needed to jump in the lake.Lucky I have a key to the house so a shower was the ticket! Headed back to Grand Lake for some AC and BBQ.Keep your head up and clear all those negative thoughts.Good luck!

[@shanehamilton6708]

Great talk Jim, we all know what you’re capable of. You’re going to turn it around 💯.

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

That's the plan!

[@johndoran7331]

Love your vids brother. Keep fighting the fight and keep positive.

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

Thank you, I will

[@DennisMorgan-ls8sc]

You are a pro, a great bass fisherman. Just fish like you do at your home lakes, you got this. Shade pockets, bream beds, rock piles and boat docks. Always eat lunch and take a break in the shade. It will keep you fresher and more energy all day. I love music in background. Playing your favorite songs will get you right.

Good luck, Jim. I keep an extra sun shirt in the cooler and switch them out throughout the day.

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

Cool idea!

[@maxchenault9503]

The thing that came to mind for me.. make sure you take care of the fish you catch.. it’s hot. Maximize everything.

The nutrition and eating habits makes sense to me because I do the same thing. I've been eating more protein at breakfast and lunch and it's helping so far

[@BrandoHills]

Newer fan but rooting for ya man.

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

Thanks for watching!

[@manonamissionstudios9440]

Appreciate the update Jim. Sounds like you are on the right path. As far as Eufaula goes, compare notes with Panger from BTL for this tournament. See if you two can help each other. It can't hurt to bounce ideas off another competitor just to validate what you have found. I have a feeling you're going to catch 'em this week. Good luck!

How about a large frosty tumbler of margarita. Nothing more enjoyable while fishing. Great pressure reduction technique.

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

Well......not quite for me. Thanks anyways.

[@JimGLopez67]

Your not alone in many of the things you touched on, I'm going thru it this year as well . Seems like I find them in practice, and can't get them to bite in a tournament. Try VMC Redline Hooks. Thanks for your honesty. Keep punching your way out. 👊Appreciate you.

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

Good luck to you!

[@judgetoogood1033]

Hal Mix. My teacher told me the 6 secrets too banking in pool, one week at a time. For 5 weeks I robbed everyone. On the sixth week, I was so excited. Hal told me the secret to banks was to not AIM. I told H Al that’s ridiculous. He said , you already know how too bank just bank. Jim you already know how to fish. Don’t think about anything but fish. Clear your mind of all distractions. Put your blinders on we say in horse races. 😊😊😊😊

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

Got it.

[@tucowept]

Cutting sugar out of your diet does more good than you think. Fish with confidence.

IMO, This is the time of year after the spawn, when a lot of big fish turn around and go Very shallow. especially when the water gets hot like, upper 80's. Oxygenated downwind backwaters. Unpressured areas with bait to be found are key for me. Problem is, when you sting them in practice, they're just not gonna reload in a short period of time. Deep water is key too especially if there's a thermocline set up. Anything in between except for contour pinch points, is a waste of time for me. I like the "Jon Cox approach - very little practice with a strong game plan. I still think the patterns from 6 weeks ago with a vibe jig will still play. And as always on that lake in particular, it's bite area specific. Tho with all this said, I don't know crap in this sport even after 45 years on the water. I'd get my azz kicked . lol. Best of luck Jim!

[@joewinkler2168]

I noticed no air conditioner on top of the camper?

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

You are correct.

[@MarkHough-lw6kb]

What temp. do you keep the live well at Good fishin

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

I'll add 10# of ice.

[@jeb4836]

Shouldn’t u have a white background bridgeford jersey ? Black jersey asking for heat. The “wicking” thing is marketing. Those black jerseys are 100% black plastic we call “polyester”. I’m a chemical engineer. 😬

[@moynaghbassfishes3818]

The shirt you see in the video is the best one I've ever used for hot days. Our black jerseys are brutal in the heat. I brought up the idea of white jerseys a few years ago but I never followed up with it.
