Hot Day on Bald Knob
Wife and I hit up Bald Knob Lake for a couple of hours fishing. Really should not have gone at all with the heat. Caught a number of bluegill and one good shell cracker. Used the Diplomat Extreme 62 UL and caught a few fish on the 67 Slow Taper Special. Lure as usual was a Trout Magnet. Line used was the Varivas ES2 Lemoni Ester. Had a lot of fun but learned a valuable lesson. I’m too old anymore for the kind of heat we’ve been having. If I hit up Bald Knob again this summer I will make sure to be on the water by 6:30 and off by 11.

Good job and pics. If you’ve had the heat and humidity like we’ve had it’s brutal.

Glad you got out and the timing is what I try to practice every trip, though if the fishing is so good I sometimes run a little long if I’m in the shade. Those are some good fish and worth the trouble of going in the heat.

Nice catches !
The heat has been tough , coupled with the humidity.
That’s why I make short trips and fish from the bank .
I caught a little break this morning, had a nice breeze and the clouds blocked the sun most of the two hours I spent out there .
Some places I can find some shade and it does make a difference
Can’t do that from a boat .

Nice, Alphahawk, and that is a pretty spot. Yes, this heat has been killer. We are in our second day of relief, but heat is back on tomorrow.
