switch up
Go for fluke or scup.
The big ones fight pretty good and taste better anyway!

I change my approach... from catching to casting practice... 
In years past I've always had a little honey hole to rely on for decent bass in the hot months.. this year they're empty.... c'mon Sept. |

less sunset-darkness trips, more darkness-sunrise trips.

slow trip... 1 or less keepers, slow month, allot of slow trips. July for me blew. 0 keepers. Biggest mistake? Not using eels. That has been remidied |

I doubt that the water on the very bottom of the Canal ever gets over 65 degrees, no matter what the surface temps may be  |

I keep at it, yet I did take a week off this month,last year I had no skunkings in july or august, this year only 3 nights no fish in july I will only fish with live eels this time of year also if you find fish at a spot this time of the year they will be there for the summer as they don't move around much when it's warm thats way spots that don't get much pressure are better, no ones thining the herd.

August is always a new ballgame from July. Different types of bait move in - most of the time. The baby bunker should push around more, mullet should move in, and the herring fry should start to come out. Makes for some surprisingly good fishing in August even with water temps so high. I just hope this August shows some of this -- because -- July sucked...  |

Great morning.... lots of bunker... All kinds of fish from fluke and bass on the waters edge to blues in the back... tons of silver sides and med-large bunker... more bait then fish but plenty of fish... some schools went out towards the atlantic unmolested while others got decimated.... dozen bass in the 30-32" range with a couple of shorts... lost count on the blues and dropped a nice fluke right at my feet who took a sinking SS popper...
Lost a loaded yellow mack redfin to a bass who @ 15' away peeled some 40-50yds of line off my reel... didn't see what hit a partsjay popper but it was pulling line off so fast.. again to a different lobster pot....storm shads 6", 6-7" pencils, were also effective... dannys and surfsters got the occasional tag along and eels were ignored..
