Use These Fishing Lures When It’s SUNNY And FLAT CALM! They Work The Best!

[@Minnecoldah1]

Thank you for the tips ! I am headed out tomorrow and it will be sunny/flat/calm -- so I will put these lures/baits in my box and give it a go !

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good luck!

[@richardporter1455]

That's been my conditions at my lake the past 3 weekends. Tube's and drop shot next to cover near drop offs to deep water. Or slow hopping a finesse football in ditches or the end of points. That's all l could get a bite on.

[@seancline8130]

yes! another tube fisherman! was starting to think I was the last one. right on man!

[@richardporter1455]

@seancline8130 can't beat um especially when the bite is tough.

That makes sense. Thanks Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@gablehead]

I was out yesterday in flat calm, super sunny/hot conditions and the 10” PowerWorm brought in the biggest fish. A small underspin and dropshot flat worm brought in the numbers.

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

thank you that is something that i have always wondered about

[@MattStefanFishing]

glad to help!

[@BradleyBaker-f2y]

A staple of my fishing buddies is a 5" yamamoto twin tail hula grub on a 1/4 oz stand-up jig head. It has a slow enough fall to let the fish see it. The bait doesn't quit moving even at rest.

[@MattStefanFishing]

It’s a great bait

[@castingacrosstexasfishing]

I love a drop shot rigged with a wacky style, small profile lure like a 4 inch Yum Dinger.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome

[@SpookyRedz]

Very good info , loved it , thanks Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PibbleTrail-j7o]

The old school power worm is awesome!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep

[@kansasbass2478]

Just gotta say the Ozark rig is the real deal! Fished a local tournament last week and took first place and big bass on a 6th Sense Prawn rigged on an Ozark rig.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome! congrats!

[@EdwardClarkIII]

Was in my local Dick's the other day and what do you know? They've got the core tackle right there on the shelf! Sweet!

Yes sir!!!

Thank you bro

Slick calm sunny conditions today. Targeted offshore brush piles with a bass pro 1/2oz XPS cover jig. Tore em up.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Sounds great!

[@baad2003mach1]

@@MattStefanFishing today was same slick conditions but cloudy. Only caught 1 outta brush like last week. Dropped down to a 3/8 jig and started catching them shallow on lay downs. And matched last week's bag. 16lbs best 5

[@MattStefanFishing]

Right on

[@caseysaunders2137]

Calm sunny and 100 is the norm at my local lake in July/Aug so I clicked on this immediately. haha. Even with a box of high end baits the Zoom Mag II ribbon tail in Green Pumpkin is the #1 confidence bait in these zero cloud ultra UV, low wind, 100 deg conditions.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome

Hey Matt, great info. By the way, I bought some of those Picasso ned jigheads and love them, paired with the Lil General.

[@MattStefanFishing]

they are great!

[@IIamjj]

Great video! Two questions. Would a 4 inch Swimbait on a jighead work in these conditions? Also what if its sunny and calm conditions but the water is stained? Do i fish flashier stuff then?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yes but go translucent and retrieve fast

[@GarrettGreen-o5z]

Topwater in the shade or running a slow (white) curl tail on a 1/8 jig.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

I hate those days. Of course I hate the heat and sun. So sunny with no breeze. That's every day from mid-June to mid-September where 8m at

[@MattStefanFishing]

can get steamy!

[@Liz_Zervos]

Great advice. Dealing with those conditions now in Florida. Dead still, and a steamy, miserable hot box.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Best of luck!

[@Liz_Zervos]

@@MattStefanFishing Thank you!

[@SpookyRedz]

Flat blue bird conditions during the hottest conditions im throwing topwater early in morning to mid morning

[@MattStefanFishing]

topwaters can be good too!

[@formerIWUcoachDDD]

Question: Just returned from Grand Traverse Bay and I threw an Ozark rig some but I was having trouble keeping the 5" Yum Dinger worm attached. It kept coming off of the eyelet. Any suggestions as to what I was doing wrong?

[@MattStefanFishing]

hmmm are you rigging it as shown in this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5ango2OlLJ2o6ssi=56tbNY5M6WwtKpJD

[@simbajohn1882]

For small mouth bass suspending off bottom, can you drop shot and bring up rig so you are abit above them. Does the weight spook them. Does any one know. Thanks from northern ontario

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yes but try a hover rig in that situation

[@simbajohn1882]

@@MattStefanFishing thanks

[@banjohappy]

I'm a topwater junkie. I cast to the shady side of cover. Let it sit, twitch a couple times, If no strike, work it back to the boat. Often get a strike a few feet away from cover. They don't want it to get away.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@formerIWUcoachDDD]

Hey Matt! I had watched that rigging clip and I was taking the hook clear through, but after a few casts the worm was coming loose and wanted to slide up the line a little. I may need to practice a little more....

[@MattStefanFishing]

Make sure the hook point is buried/skin hooked to keep the worm from sliding

[@hughroberts1002]

What do you use on a heavy pressure lake that's clam not much under water cover .But has trees and rocks not much brush cover either. What are the 4 best lures to use.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Small bottom baits and topwaters

[@andybales7318]

Seems soft plastics are more effective in sunny, flat days..especially in summer....a tube works well as well in cover areas...Tubes aren't seen by bass as much anymore it seems

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@DanielBoone337]

Completely agree man... You definitely named off some of my favorites for those conditions. I'd throw in a jighead minnow, swimbait, and dropshot but thats just what I like on the lakes I fish on mostly. Luckily these days we have livescope so it makes these conditions much easier to deal with. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@timbarthel7232]

Finesse jigs, 6" Texas rigs, Ned rigs and 2" plastics on a 1/16oz ball jig head(bass seem to eat them just as much as the bluegill and crappie this time of year).

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@seancline8130]

tubes are good.

[@MattStefanFishing]

yep

[@PistolPete3322]

Fish early and then go to the pool😅

Then fish late after a day at the pool.

Does color make a difference? I notice your plastics where all dark.

The only lure that works in the summer ….. wait for it !!…. Grenades !!

You've pretty much described every day here in florida during the summer ... lol. If you're not punching you're not catching fish, at least not the big boys down here ...

can be good!

[@wolverinex4243]

Not the hardest. Hardest would be a fast river like white waters. I'm killing the trout with lures. Second hardest? Frigid cold, windy night fishing with tsunami waves in the high rocks. Nothing works and it is absolutely miserable.

[@MattStefanFishing]

fast water is the easiest IMO

[@rm709]

Considering this is a bass fishing channel…. Your comment is totally irrelevant.
