This summer heat has most people in my area catching nothing.

This isn't meant to be a discouraging post but informative.

Last year i caught about 30-40 flattys and blies over 20lbs. Same with the year before. This year 3 total....its brutal for everyone i know here in the Midwest as far as big cat.

About a decade ago we had a summer similar to this with almost no one catching until yhe fall/going into winter then they were on fire. All this so say dont give up and just wait it out.

Also, for the first time (in my experience with flattys), I got a 41lber on a 15 inch live channel cat. Just unheard of here but really interesting. The water is hovering around 90 degrees on both lakes here.

Anyway keep the faith all its a tough summer and I've had more channel go for my live and cut bluegill than anytime in history.

Would love to hear everyone's else's experience.
