LOL....that's not being an old Doug, that's being a smart....

If I could knock out all these home projects, bait building and other commitments I would be out there even more. I started early this year acclimating myself to the heat and so far it's not bothering me much. I am out in it most every day though so that helps.

My favorite time of year!

The hotter the better for me, I don't mind the heat.

The day will come, trust me. Just need to get a little older and 5-6 trips to the dermatologist.

Almost ZERO but some of it has to do with working more than other months.

Being in the A/C Wholesale business will do that to you.

I've had one (cancerous) spot cut off and a few others taken off by freezing.

I (almost) look like the Mummy when I go out on the water now days!

Me too BigD but all that covering gets hot after awhile and I have to go for a ride. I find in this heat I can get all the fishing in I want by 1pm. Some are saying they bite better in the afternoon but I won't be there to find out.

Very little, but I will fish a few mornings this month, none in August, getting Dove fields ready then.

I still fish in the summer but am usually off the water by 9 or 10. Usually tell myself it wasn�t worth the trip but go anyways.

I like august no wind 100+ and very few tournaments

i fish every week, but right now, I am boat-less until my new one is ready.
Warning to you older fellows, I have had two heat stress conditions where your body stops sweating, you cramp up and throw up. These last about two-three days. No fun to go through. I've also been involved in a full heat stroke on a worker who later died from it.
Please don't underestimate the effects of the sun.
Now that we have a place on Fork, I like to fish from first light to about 10:00am, I come in and cool off then go out in the evening once it cools down. Sometimes at night I'll drop shot the boat slip and fishing pier under the lights for a while. Great way to fish during the summer and very productive also.

Right now, Im just going through withdrawals from not having a boat. I wasn't meant to go all the way to the lake and stand on the deck cooking all weekend

Good luck out there

That's a Robert statement for ya! Bad to the bone and he really is........and yes, Billy is an old.......me too!

Only at night. Fishing is supposed to be fun and being out in the sun for hours on days like today isn't fun for me.

I fish whenever I get the chance! Usually bring the boat with me to work at least once a week and go for a few hrs til dark. Our club has 1 tourney a month and usually some fruit jars around. Def keep my cooler full of gatorades and water.
