Even if diesel/gas was still $2/gal, it's too damn hot outside. Y'all boys are crazy standing around out there in 100 degrees to get a bite...
I had a trip booked to the Pines/Caddo in July. Cancelled that not only cause diesel is $5/gallon now, but it's not even August yet and already over 100 degrees. Hell with that, I'll find me something else to do.. lol ..and this is the problem with 'Merica... Dang sissies. Heat ain't no big deal, now cold... that's another story. Icy guides and 20 degree temperatures. I'M OUT (well, not out, but you know what I mean)!!!

It’s most always going to be around 100 degrees in July in Texas. Just jump in the water to cool off. 🤷♂️

I still fish the same amount. However, I have started to "practice" a little less than I would normally. It's bad when you can win an open on a saturday and still not cover your expenses on the day LOL. I'd rather give up something else before fishing. It's my stress relief.

I'm all for that, not that heat though

You can't tell me without lying that the summer heat hasn't changed over the recent years. My last across Texas trip was last June, and it wasn't nowhere near the same heat we're seeing right now. This chit right now is just miserable. I'll probably re schedule for fall time before hunting season starts And come December/January, I'll be wading around in freezing tempatures before you boys even wake up to go chase your winter time sunfish  you damn sissies....

LOL since you seem to be unaware that it gets to over 100 degrees here in Texas in July you just might be unaware that there is no closed season for bass fishing in Texas. We "boys" fish all year long, hot or cold and we will be on the water WAY before you take your dip in freezing cold water, so just keep your sissies name calling to yourself.

I love showing up at noon when the ladies are loading up. Much more peaceful no potlicking and the fish eat when it's 100. Also prefer no wind.

We go through cycles... 1980, 1998, 2011, 2022? See a general pattern?

Just filled up in Pagosa Springs Colorado. Trout fishing, jeeping the Alpine Loop, spent the day w/wife soaking in the hot springs, 54 degrees right now and not even dark yet. All that good said: fuel prices suck. Cheapest diesel in town. And we haven’t seen anything yet! ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/06/full-34948-143675-2596c335_a9ff_4b8c_ae92_5877ac31e1e7.png)

So this economy has me wondering if I like bass fishing and owning a boat as much as I previously thought I did! LOL
To take a day trip itll cost me about $80-90 round trip. If I wanna stay overnight add another $65 for a [censored] motel 6 room. so $80 for a day trip and $145 for a 2 day trip. Would these costs effect how often youd go fishing? they officially have for me wouldn't slow me down............ BUT, I can be on a handful of great lakes in less than an hour from my house. That's what I miss about living in Louisiana; grew up there, I could go and be on the water heading almost any direction from home and be on the water in less than 30 minutes and the cool part was a lot of the places around me I could get to from what ever boat ramp i chose to use. The water ways are that interconnected. Fuel cost would be much less a problem and probably wouldn't regulate my time on the water near as much.
