Fishing tip of the week: The water temperature is very warm this time of year. (About 85 degrees) If you fish in 2 foot or less of water like I do quite often, this is not a good time of year as it gets 2 to 3 degrees warmer in shallow water. The water becomes stagnant & the oxygen level is dramatically reduced. The fish cannot breathe properly in hot water. Around this time of year try to stay in a little deeper water with some current. Keep fishing & stay safe.
