Welcome to summer. Weeks of heat and humidity can definitely impact fishing in Central Missouri. This late June 2018 adventure at White Lake (15 acres) in the Missouri Department of Conservation Robert White Conservation Area in Audrain County, Missouri posed typical summer challenges. Generally speaking, fish were no longer holding near the banks but were rather off-shore in brush and deeper (5-8 feet) of water. Different lures (crank baits, spinner baits) were used but small (finesse) slow moving lures worked the best. Bear Paws 3" Garden Worms in "Heaven and Earth" and "Golden Shiner" colors worked well as did my creation, a Z-Man TRD TubeZ mod called the "The Flash" Tinkie Dinkie. A few bass also hopped on 2 3/4 inch Z-Man Finesse FrogZ. Luckily, over 30 Largemouth Bass, Bluegill and a Channel Catfish were caught before much needed rain arrived. Overall the excursion was fairly typical of summer fishing in fairly shallow lake.
