Me too..

Once a week is enough for me in this heat and never on the weekend.

weekends are brutal owoooo water drive me nuts they have no regard for fishermen but then neither do the weekend fishermen mostly I find that the fish go much deeper in mid summer .Find how deep the bait fish are and there you will find the fish

When it gets this hot I seem to lose the handle. This past weekend I couldn't seem to find them bunched up and I covered a lot of water. Might have fished a little too fast, but I prefer to find the real active fish instead of grinding for maybe one bite. I usually do okay through mid July but this year I seem to be loosing them a little earlier than normal. We have a place at Fork, so I'll give it a couple of more weekends of mornings and then will probably hang it up through August and maybe the first part of September depending on when the heat breaks.

My wife is having knee surgery in two weeks, so I have to be home to watch out for her anyway.

All my biggest fish are in July and August.

With every year it becomes less and less.

It's only July 2nd and I am already looking forward to October!

My boat has been parked for over three weeks, may get it back on the water in late September.

till the reels fall off

I went out for the first time in 3 weeks yesterday, and I can tell you, you aren't missing much if you aren't out right now in my neck of the woods. I was only out for 3-4 hours, but it was a beating. Between the idiots on jet skis and wake boats, and the sun beating down, 4 fish, with only one being a keeper, it was not worth my time.

I'll stay in another week or two before I decided to try at it again, and let all these guys on for the holiday shoo off a little bit.

Must be the worms in the summer trout that make them taste better..

Are you an "old"?

I go every chance I get. As the water gets hotter, the fish get meaner and stronger.

same here.

every Thursday daytime tournaments and pre-fish for them but they begin at 6 AM and end at noon

Older than I was yesterday

Probably harder in some respects for boat anglers because of the time and energy getting in and out.

We went out last Saturday, two of us, in kayaks and fished from about 6:30 AM to beyond lunch. It was great, felt nice with a strong breeze until around noon. I got off at around 1:30 PM wishing I had called it a day around noon. Cody stayed out a bit longer. And, we were chasing small packs of schooling bass around so burning some calories.

Last night, I got out a 6 PM and stayed out until just before dusk. Again, feels great once the sun isn't drilling you.

No, for me, fishing through the afternoons. I just don't do it.
