Dog/ Day fishing
Hey Rfrg , Have been fishing these Hot muggy day's lately with mixed result's , And the best set up has been the drop shot rig in 10 to 16 ft of water just barely in & outside the weed line's with a mixed bag of fish taking leech's or nightcrawlers . Using #4 or #2 Gamakatsu hook's & Bass pro finesse drop weight - between 1/8 & 3/16th or 1/4 if windy . Has been out producing slip bobber rig's 2 to 1 lately. for panfish . Or use wacky worms or gulp alive 3or 5 inch leechs for bass & walleyes . If you want a different tactic to use give the drop shot a try it's easy, just vertical jig it right off the side of your boat and hang on !!! good luck to ya fishing ! pan fish

I don't want to hear about "dog days" in Wisconsin, we're in the midst of 30 straight days of over 100 degrees and just set a record high for an overnight low of 86 day before yesterday, with no real end in sight (come on October)! 
We decided to give the Sand (White) Bass a try this morning, got to the lake right at sunup and were driven off the water by 10:30 because it was so friggin' hot. We did get into one good mess of fish early, had MANY doubles and quite a few triples between the three of us, so it was fun. Probably caught somewhere between 50 and 75 fish, but I did manage to tear up my prop on "something". Water level is 6' low right now and dropping every day, so I should have been more careful. Hopefully there will be some water left to drift for the big cats come November.
Good fishing...

That sucks on the prop!!! But the white bass fishing sounds like a ton of fun!!!
panfish, great idea on the drop shot rig, might have to give that a try, although I have been doing well on the main lake humps either jigging or using lighted slips...
