We pushed and pulled jigs as usual. The bite was steady until the sun came out around 2:00. When we finished today we decided we would wait for cooler weather before trying it again. The heat and slow bite are hard on us old guys. We had a good day (no minnows).

I wish I could complain about the heat and slow bite. Great catch for the conditions. 8 more weeks........8 more weeks.

Doug that is about right. You and I fished together on September 18 last year. We quit fishing at 1:30 and kept 28 good fish. The water temperature that day was 80 degrees.
