Greetings All;
With the very extreme heat covering the Midwest and very high humidity, daytime angling is not advised at this time. High heat warning have been posted and it is a very dangerous situation out there. As I write this, outdoor temps are exceeding the 100 degree range. If you have to be outdoors, try to limit the time spent there and be sure to stay very hydrated by drinking a lot of water.
Due to this excessive heat wave, I have been limiting all my angling to the night time hours. Even though it is still hot, the Sun is not beating down on you and the humidity is much more bearable.
The good news is that the night bite has been great. Lots of beautiful catfish coming in along with a few panfish. The catfish are the ones that will keep you busy. Fish those snag and deadfall areas with your dipbaits and you will be very successful. Remember, catfish roam at night much more that day.
One thing to remember about night fishing, no matter how well you think you know the area, just remember it will look very different at night. Travel slowly and use caution in your navigation. Also, make sure you tell someone where you are heading so that they know where to look should you get in a jam. I'll tell you folks, right now is the time do do your angling during the cooler night time hours. I'm quite sure you will not only stay cooler, but you might just catch the catfish of your life.
Be safe, wear that PFD and save a few for me.
