Beat the summer heat During early summer when the days are hot and the sun shines brightly, many anglers quit fishing altogether

A good starting point is to fish the bait pretty much at dead depth in other words with the bait just touching the bottom

Drifts over marks while jigging usually result in multiple hookups along the boat rail

The flip side of this is that fishing the upper layers in warmer weather often means that any deep laying pike are happy to charge up through the water to hammer a bait fished mid-water or closer to the surface
