Took a solo trip last night to one of my local ponds to see if I could find some action. I got to my fishing area and first line in the water about 5:45, air temp at 83 and water temps about 81.
The first 15 minutes brought me 3 small

Hot as in more than just the air temperature! 870 and I fished a new patch of water for the both of us. We launched about 5:20 with heavy, humid air and a bit of a breeze, which actually felt darn nice to us both after a long working day outside.

After looking at the weather last night, it seemed my best chance for getting in a trip this weekend would be this morning. I loaded up and got my first line in the water just before 8. Air temp a humid 74 at water's edge and water temps were

After a rather long but productive day in the shop, I found enough gumption to load up for some aquatic therapy. I launched and got my first line in the water a bit late at 5:25. A bit of wind to contend with but not bad. The haze in the air
...
I got a call last night from 870 inviting me to fish with him this morning on one of his favorite spots. Of course I said yes, and we met and launched about 7 this morning. Quite a layer of fog a few hundred feet up over top of the water that

Pretty windy yesterday but I wanted to fish so I headed to a small pond that I haven't fished in a couple of years. I launched about 5:15 in to a wind from the Northeast that wouldn't ease off until after 7pm. Air temp at 74 and water temps
...
Finally, a trip where more crappie were caught than anything else. Beautiful day here yesterday and I just knew it was going to be a nice night to be on the pond. Launched about 5:10 with the air temp at 83 and the water temp out on the pond

I found myself with some extra ambition and put it to good use this morning by making another fishing trip. I pushed off from shore about 10:30, with the air temperature at 58 and the water temperature on this pond at 53. There is a lot of

The weather guesser's said that today would not be a windy as yesterday. They were wrong......... at least for the morning; there would be no vertical jigging today. But at least I had a nice setting once again. We had some pretty good rain
...
Another great day here in CT and I found it easy to not start another project in the shop late this afternoon just so I could sneak in another trip. Got on the water about ten to four with the air temperature at 67 and the water temp at 57.

Today was a perfect New England early fall day so I pulled the plug a bit early at work and hit the water. I just had to, it would have been a crime to miss out on such a nice day after the recent stretch of poor weather we've had here. I launched

I've been working around the house here, cleaning up a bunch of trees I had taken down. I've been sawing, stacking, splitting, stacking, cleaning up brush and bark, etc. Hasn't left a whole lot of time for fishing. Yesterday I split and stacked

We closed the doors at noon today for the long weekend. After taking care of some errands, I gathered my gear and headed for some fishing relaxation. Launched about 4:40 under cloudless blue skies, very little wind, air temp at waters edge
...
Packed up the gear and headed out after work. Air temperature at a humid 84, water temp at 81! Launched about 5:15 and called it a night just short of 8. Wind was down and I figured I'd be in for a decent evening of catching. Nope!
...
It's been difficult to find time to get out and wet a line but this morning the stars were in alignment and I hit the water about 8:15. Air temperature of 61 and the water out away from shore was 72. Had a light wind from the North with mostly

I thought the hard water season might have been over after the warm temps on Wednesday and Thursday and quite a bit of rain overnight Thursday into Friday. Then the bottom fell out of the thermometer mid morning on Friday and hasn't been above
