I'll deal with heat for one like this.
Another HOT day and a little windier than I would like but some wind is better than none. We were out for about five hrs, water went from 79 to 83 degrees, caught five different species and 5 of the 6 LM were caught between 12:30 and 2PM. These were my two best and for perspective, I'm 6' 5" and would have weighed if the water was colder, too stressful for the fish in high water temps. They're out there to be caught another day as usual.

Woah! Thats a beast. What did it hit? Whats been catching the fish recently? Sheds fishing? I'm debating if its still worth getting my permit with the season half over.

Jigs, CB & top water. Not a Shed fish and I've probably hit them a total of seven times this year. I usually wait until the crowds die down there. |

Here are a few more pics from yesterday and today. We got out for 3 or 4 hours and off the water by 2PM. (92 degrees today when we got off and lost a couple of nice SM also)

Re: I'll deal with heat for one like this.
Guess I'll add one more outing to this thread.
Had to take advantage of today's lack of sun and cool temps. Fished from 10am until 12:30pm, water temp got up to 82 degrees with a little drizzle when we left at 1pm, the air temp was only 76 degrees while yesterday it was 92 degrees at 2pm. The fish were active and caught most of the 7 smallies in the first hour, lost a couple and towards the end of the outing caught 1 LM (16.5") and lost 2 others. Three of the larger SM came four feet out of the water (eye level) on three or four jumps, thrilling to see and one almost jumped into the boat. I thought that I was going to loose the one that tried to join us in the boat after the line got hooked up on two other rods (one of the problems of having multiple rods with two people in a 12' boat) and then around the trolling motor shaft but was able to get him to pose for a picture and it had only one barb of the treble in the tip of it's lower jaw. Pictures of the two best. Last edited by oelgnal1; 07-18-2019 at 09:19 PM.. |

Awesome Bass all around man! Gotta be tough to deal with the heat out on the open water. Dog days of summer are here!
