I still fish. Not on the weekends though. Usually on the water around 5 or so and off by 9...benefit of having Friday off. My home lake is small and doesn't allow jet skis or skiing...but the swimmers overrun the boat ramp and it gets highly annoying trying to load/unload after about noon past dark.

I start getting grumpy, irritable, and down right hard to be around if I go for over a week without being on the water, no matter the temperature. Every time I start to gripe about the heat I think back to the tournaments we fished in February and March where we had to dunk our reels in the water to melt the ice. I'll take the heat over the brutal cold any day. With that said, last weekend was the first time in a long time that we were not able to find some big feeding schools of fish offshore. Hopefully that had more to do with the heavy traffic on the water than the fish becoming heat lethargic. However, we have seen record average temps in June and that has water temps in the mid to upper 80's on many lakes. I suspect the fishing is going to get a little tougher a few weeks ahead of schedule this year.

I juts unpacked the boat until Fall temps get here. Just too hot for too little reward this time of year.

I like the lack of crowds and peace and quite fishing a stump riddled lake July and August. I'll usually be the only one on the water 11am to about 5pm. It can be slow, but sometimes you'll luck into fired up deep schools.

I usually do better in July and August. The heat can be hard to deal with though. I need to start fishing in my swim suit or my birthday suit.

Last weekend, I was literally beat up by the heat, jet skis and wakeboats. Granbury temps are close to 90, outside air temps are 106 and the fish have gone deep. I went to my phone and started looking at pictures of fish I caught last year and it was towards the end of August when we started catching them again. Ill still fish, but itll be early morning and only for a short time til then.

As much as a I can, but only early in the morning. By noon I start calling it a day to avoid the hottest time.

In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

Same amount. Just have to watch out for my Wife. When she starts getting flush in the face, it's time to go. Ang yes the high heat bothers me more than it used to.

So I go in the morning because usually people are to busy trying to get to work or already at work. Pretty much trying not to get bugged about fishing ponds.

3 to 4 weekends a month. It sux to have to work but I've gotta pay for my fishing some how. Weekends aren't to bad if you get off the water before 3 when the skiers decide it's time to go to the lake. As far as the heat, I would rather sweat than shiver.

I have people tell me : Just fish at night, I personally do NOT like to fish at night.. I know many people do, when I was younger I did it some. Crazy thing was, we'd smash the fish at sun down and for a little bit past that, fish hard into the night, nap, fish hard again, with not much results, Sun starts coming up, it's on like donkey kong again.. Now, mind you this cycle happened most of my night fishing trips, it didn't take me to long to figure out I should just stay home and get some sleep, and go after them early.. Plus, I can't see that good at night....
