7/23 Fishing/meltdown report
Got the water about 7 this morning with 2 buddies. Was super foggy, but nice. That meant the sun rays wasn’t blistering me yet lol. Started catching crappie right off the bat trolling jigs in 20-30 FOW Fishing 12-15 ft deep. Had a little breeze so it was enjoyable. Then the sun came out wind quit blowing and in a few short minutes I was soaking wet with sweat. Fished until about 1145. That was all we could stand. Ended up smacking the crappie pretty good. Caught around 70 had 4-5 2lb fish and boxed 60 for a big fish fry with friends on Sunday. Caught 30ish stripe 10-12 bass and 1 catfish. When we put the boat on the trailer I think I had 3rd degree sun burn on the tops of my knees, what was pearly white skin is now ripe tomato red. Wish i would have brought a change of clothes, my shirt, shorts, underwear, and socks were soaked. Besides the heat, it was a great day on the water shooting the bull with friends.
