Thread: If ya can't take the HEAT

= Stay out da PITCHEN!]
Well, it's here in Sunny FLORIDA = Daytime temps in low 90's, Water temps 80's(midday was 84*). Serious(Delirious) fisherman need only apply!
Dependable winds start @9am that help your comfort level but pre-planning easily yields to l/l'g(air movement) to create more "chase-time". Early starts lend to the equation as well...
Same strategy means 1/16 oz. underspins/2" twisters/1 mph(+-). Planned on about 4-5 hours of effort and thankfully, that was enough. I actually think that rumor has circulated that an ice-bath is awarded to fish meeting acceptable minimum-length requirements! Caught Crappie, bluegill, bream in modest #s, but kept 8 to filet. The true came @1230 when I decided to head back to the barn= Honest, lip-touching board-measurement
Even caught a bird-brained, feather-headed, fish catcher, hidden(so he thought) spying on me up in the shoreline cattails
Back at the house, 1st mandate is to let the dog out to water the drought-stricken lawn. As I was unhitchin' my rig, RAVEN was embarrassingly trying to wakeup the napping Senior Citizens with his vocal skills! Further investigation revealed him almost nose to nose with an uninvited excavation specialist Soft-Shelled Turtle that was digging a hole to drop her treasures! I lifted/relocated her HEALTHY self to the pond just 20 feet away, kicked the sandy-soil back in place and surprisingly she hasn't returned! Actually heard they are very good tablefare!
