I would forget the lures and go with the traditional hook and worm. Put the biggest nightcrawler on the hook, attach a bunch of weight and just let it sink to the bottom. I would also jig it. Good Luck! Fishing is my favorite thing to do.

The middle of the day or even the heat of the summer does not necessarily mean the fish are in the middle of the lake. They are also around the base of the cypress trees, usually on the shady side, and are off the points in a little deeper water then earlier in the day . Lilly pads are also good middle of the day spots to fish. Sometimes in the middle of the day you can find schools of bass feeding on threadfin shad on the surface of the water. You lure choice would be determined where you are fishing at. For instance the point would be a good crankbait spot, or a weighted lizard or worm. The cypress trees would produce fish using a weighted lizard or worm, or crankbait, or spinner bait. The schooling bass could be caught on buzz baits, crankbaits or the plastics. Even top water will produce fish when a school is found. If one type of structure or area fails to produce fish, go to the next area and try it out.There are some days when the middle of the day has produced my best catches.Just go, have fun, and good luck!

I would suggest a Yamamoto Senko or other similar bait. This is way more involved though depending on where you live, water color, type of water. time of year, etc.. So I have over 100 free videos on this as well as feature articles.
