It can be more difficult because there's a lot more variables, a lot more factors. It favor the guys used to fishing in tidal waters instead of fishing reservoirs. In general, they adapt quicker and understand what the fish do in all particular situations. I don't really want to elaborate on that. Several anglers agreed that the Louisiana summer did not present ideal bass fishing conditions.
Extreme heat can make bass dormant.
I'm from up north, and we get some pretty warm weather, but we don't have anything like this. In most Southern states, people fish at night this time of year. State anglers have grown familiar with those summer conditions and frequently turn in those months to saltwater species, which are more active in the heat. Darren Schaff, a local bass guide, said the professionals would find conditions considerably altered from those they raved about in October. It's definitely going to be tough for them in July down here.
