I bought some Jackall lures from ExtremeLures.com and they came in yesterday.  One of them was the TN70, a rat-l-trap type bait.  It has a very tight wiggle and some great colors.

I threw it yesterday and had a big(?) one on for a few seconds but I lost her to a poor hookup.  I did catch several keepers off of it too.  Went back to the same pond today and fished it from 11:30 AM to 2 PM, in the heat(100 F) of the day and I fished it FAST.

I'm on the bank, about 20' from the water and I'm ripping it back to me.  As the TN70 gets near the bank, in about 2' of water, this 5 lber races in and grabs it right in front of me.  She ran with it but I got her back in a few seconds.  Yes, Bass will bite in the heat of a hot summer and they will chase a fast running bait if the bait has what it takes.  Caught 3 dinks and a 2 lber off it too today.

Nice fish Dan.

I have never doubted the fish biting when it?s this hot.
I just doubt that I will be out there trying to catch them! My boat is a dark olive green and touching it in any way results in a burn. I made the mistake of laying some soft plastic on the deck when I changed my lure and I had quite a mess to clean up later!
