Hot fishing

[crappie1133]

Well its that time of year again! Went about two weeks ago and made a decision. I will not go again until it cools down. I love cold weather fishing.I can put on more clothes to stay warm, can't take off enough to stay cool. I do not clean and eat fish. I usually give them to elderly and friends. When I went a couple of weeks ago, the water temperature was 91. Since I fish for fun and to enjoy the outdoors. I will sit in the cool and enjoy a nap or watch and old cowboy flick. I use to go regardless of the temperature. Getting old and follow THE RULE: "If it ain't fun . I don't want to do it". I still love to read post about others and their catches. Keep posting and I will continue to read.....thanks........crappie1133

At over 100 here almost everyday and turning 60 soon , you might see and or notice I don't get out quite as much either . I used to timber doodle a lot a few years ago from about 11 to 3 when it was up over a hundred and even if you can find shade it's still HOT .....so don't feel alone on this one brother

Great post and wisdom. When I was younger I could even do 2 or 3 days in row fishing. Nowadays, I need a day of "rest" in-between! Tough getting old. Thank goodness we can still fish though.

I put up my Bimini and also use a big 5' umbrella up front. Looks a little silly but can fish all day if I want here in Tennessee. The worse time of day is in late afternoon because sun is lower than umbrella and still extreme hot but doesn't last long. However, most time I quit when the fish do around noon.

I go early 5:30 am and try to get off water by 9:00 or 9:30 am before it gets real hot. Skier's and jet skies start at 10:00 am so I am leaving when they start churning up the lake.

I'm right there with you on waiting to is cools off. It's so hot and muggy here u just about can't breathe after lunch. I told my daughter other night we wouldn't go again until it cooled off. There's nothing like a nap in a cool breeze on the water. Love it

This is the way to do it. Or go very late in the day.
