July

It’s best to concentrate your bass fishing in July to early in the mornings and late in the afternoons/evenings. In the early mornings, you can fish topwater baits, especially above submerged weeds and around stumps. Later, consider fishing with some deep-diving crankbaits, especially if you’ve found good submerged structure. If the crankbaits aren’t producing reaction strikes, revert to a weighted soft plastic, like a jig meant to imitate a crawfish. Twitching a crawfish along a rock structure in 15-20 feet of water is often an offer even the most finicky largemouth cannot refuse.

1. The highest kite ever flown reached almost 2 1/2 miles!

2. When powerful winds blow across deserts and other dry places, they can pick up sand and soil and carry it far away. Sand from the Sahara Desert in Africa is often blown across the Atlantic Ocean to South America.

3. When air is warmed by the sun, it rises higher into the sky. Other air then moves in to take its place. This movement of air is what we call wind.

4. On a cold day, the wind can make you feel even colder. This is called “wind chill,” and it happenes because the wind carries away your body heat, making you lose heat faster.

5. The fastest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was 318 miles per hour. It happened inside a tornado in Oklahoma in 1999. more…
