Top tips for tackling summer fishing

INDIANA – The best rule of thumb for summer fishing is to fish at dusk and dawn when the temperatures are cool and the UV is less intense. Fish the shallows, as the bigger predatory fish will swim there to eat before the UV index increases.

If you’re fishing during the middle of the day, focus your attention on deeper waters near structures. Fish will swim in the temperature of water most comfortable for them. Try fishing at different depths. Start shallow and increase the depth you’re fishing until you start getting bites.
