I should have known better.....
I worked around the homestead here and kept an eye on the weather and especially the breeze. I hoped to have a chance to get out on the water after the chores were done but not if it was still windy. Seemed
...
Had an opportunity to get in another trip after work and launched about 4:45. Fairly strong breeze from the SSE but I expected that and expected also that it would lay down before too long and it did, thankfully. Air temperature was 68, water

Conditions seemed to be perfect for a good trip; upper 70's, pretty much calm winds, sun getting more and more hidden behind the haze from the fires out west, so I headed out from work an hour early to take advantage of it all. Launched about
...
Like Rich and Walt, weatherman here was calling for chance of showers, better chance for them in the afternoon so I rolled the dice and headed out, hoping to get a trip in before they arrived. I checked the radar before I left; we'd had a light

After running errands all morning, I checked the weather and decided an afternoon siesta and then a trip to the pond would be a good way to spend the rest of my Saturday. I'm glad I waited as we began to get some intermittent cloud cover and

Being the middle of the week, I took a chance that the new pond might not be quite as busy in the evening as it was on a bright, sunny, warm Sunday afternoon. I was correct, as there were no other boats out, and just an older couple lounging
...
I had to take advantage of the fine day we had here yesterday. Although it was hot at 88, the humidity was very low and comfortable with just a hint of a breeze. Perfect conditions for a trip to the pond to see what might be biting. I launched

My long time partner finally found some time to join me fishing so we took a trip back to our favorite water (which shall remain nameless!) We hit the water about 9:30 and started a slow circuit of the pond. Water temperature was 67, air temp

After completing my obligations on Sunday, I found a reserve of energy and decided to load up and see if I could add a few more fish to the freezer. I launched about 4:30 and called it a night about 7 with darkness falling quickly. No one was

Yesterday was an overcast and very calm day around here ( I just knew they'd be biting) so I packed up and headed to my favorite calm water to see if I could add a few to the freezer. I got on the water about 5 and pulled off at 7 when the

A very nice "fall is not far off" kind of day here in the Northeast, as Rich posted in his report. After work I loaded up and headed for the pond for a couple of hours to see if I could hook a few. Launched at 4:40 and pulled off

Finally, a welcome change to our weather here in CT. Instead of hot, extremely humid weather, with severe thunderstorm warnings, tornado watches and warnings, torrential downpours, etc., I awoke to temps in the low 60's with very pleasant humidity
...
After a hot, stressful day yesterday, I decided to head over to the pond and wet a line and depressurize a bit. Hit the water about 5:30 and called it a night around 7:30. I had no interest in cleaning fish last night so all were returned for

Hit the water about 5:20 and made 2 complete passes of my trolling pattern/area without hooking a single fish. Water temp was about 78, air temp about the same. Sort of surprised me; I figured it would have been a great night for getting some

After my last trip, I was hoping for a more relaxing evening and the crappie gods were agreeable with that request. I launched at 5:30 and pulled off at 8pm. I chose to go back to the smaller water and found it to have calm water conditions.
...
I'd been watching the sky all afternoon and decided that today might be a good day to sneak over to the pond and see what might be biting. My weather was similar to Walt and Rich's; cloudy, kinda cool, very little wind. Water temp at 72. Got
