I am out here fishing with Texas Rigs and Swimbaits, and This Lure saved the day! Bank fishing for bass and even bluegill has been difficult lately. The fish seemed so active just a few days ago. But you can only fish the day you have, so its time to change things up until you start catching some. I start with a Texas Rig and catch nothing. I switch to a jerkbait hoping to attract a bit from a bass or even a big panfish. I manage one bluegill in 40 minutes! Finally after switching to the one inch swimbait, I am able to catch both bass and bluegill. If you are having a tough time, here is a fishing tip: maybe try the smallest swimbait you have. #fishing #realistic

What is working for you in the heat??
Good fish man, this week was kinda bad because we barely caught any fish because of the heat. I won't give up though. 👍
Definitely nice gills… darn summer heat has made lockjaw a thing over here… is what it is… KIR y’all.
Man that hybrid at the end was a STUD. Big and beefy, pattern like a shellcracker on the body, head and gill like a bluegill. That second bullgill with the dark colors, sloped and notched head was a tank too.
Some great fish there Alex 👌
Fine looking gills indeed 👍
After a tough start you found something that worked! That's a win.
That was realistic as hell Alex! Those were some humongous gills! Way to power through!!
I'd say it was a monster shell cracker .
We’re all lubed up and ready to go! 😅
That last one was a freakin football! Nice job! Had some luck lately in the heat on the SPRO 40mm poppin frog!
So much heat during the day has kept this 'Ol fisherman off the water. It appears you might be having some luck just before dark. Good luck and Keep It Realistic ! Pap Blevins
That last one could have been a hybrid. I really like them dark bigguns. Great video Alex.
For me it's heading to the creeks and hopping in. Flowing water is always cooler and creek fish are always hungry.
That is a monster fish. I'd be scared if I caught one that size. It might pull me in the lake…lol
The small swimbaits were working out, man those were nice fish especially the last one.
Top water, early or late in the day.
Great video… Good looking Gills today….. KiR!!!
Red eared sunfish…
Thanks!
Damn, what a tough day. I enjoyed the video anyway.
Some days are harder than others but at least you are out there Alex. You still managed to HOOKEM In The Mouth! 🙌🏼
It's tough to tell if you're throwing the wrong lures or if the fish aren't there. Making a luee change definitely helps to make that determination.
Caught some monster blue gill. Sometimes fishing is just tough like hard math, and you just got to keep working at it to figure it out. Like you did by sizing way down. Good video, see you next time
Some really nice not 2lb bluegills there!
Haven't watched it yet because my wife is still awake but I'm guessing the lure that saved the day is the yum dinner bubble gum yellow swirl. Or not. Lol. Hope you find this funny.
Sup alex, theres fishermen that fish, and theres people chase trophy bass,try sell lots bull sh🤬t! Small world lol. Tyvm tc 🎣
Gotta keep on changing it up. To find out what they are hitting on. You did just that nice Catches
Nice batch of panfish Alex 🤛👍
Someone is getting to fish. I have not been in week.
Some weird frankenfish hybrid? I'd love to be catching those all day at that size.
