LOL! Never too hot to fish.... From Chicago originally so I'll gladly take our weather over the winters back home. Plus, in the summer when it's 90 plus 90% humidity - Oy Vey!! It's truly a dry heat.
Hitting San Carlos tomorrow evening/night. Rumors of a good night bite. Anybody care to share some wisdom on the Crappie bite.....
LLL
Melting in Tennessee...102 plus high humidity!!!! Fat people like me could die!!!! Yikes....
Yeah, I am heading out in the morning. I hope I don't fry in my aluminum pan :)
You can acclimate your self to the heat by turning your AC thermostat back 1* per day! If you have it set on 70* now, in 30 days you'll be acclimated to 100* temps and it will still feel kinda cool when you walk in the house... now go catch us some of those partially poached fish and take some pics for us to look at!!!
If fishing in the summer was easy... women and children would be doing it!:rolleyes:
.. but if you're Wimpy, just say you're Wimpy!... would you gladly pay me Tuesday for a hamburger today?
You can't aclamate your house to 115,lol.Your refrigerater will start stinking and you'll burn your arms when you touch your boat,or truck.I guess that you could pay $10.00 a day for an hour of fishing though.Tonto Park pass.BTW GCD my house is 80 degrees to keep my worms comfortable,lol.
You should see when you leave the keys in the ignition and try to start the truck up real quick to put the AC on,lol.Keep your long sleeves and gloves on,Ha.
Yeah, my house is set on 78-79 in the summer. If I put it on 70 then my bill would be more than my mortgage! I did get out to Apache the other night and caught a walley for the first time. Did pretty poorly otherwise though. This heat is a killer.
Are you guys trying to tell me that AZ fish bite between May and October?
I can't take the 3digit temps any more. I stay home until there are at least 3 days in a row of 2digit temps. Summer is the time to go to the beach and wade out into the surf. I catch surf-perch, halibut and corbina. If it get's to hot, I just squat down and let a wave wash over me.
They bite,lol.But I don't.If you wake up at 2:00 am and get to the lake by 4:30 am you might get a couple hours to fish.It will be 110 before 9,lol.
Lucky man. I was just out there a few weeks ago and did a charter for the first time. 1/2 day. Caught some Calico bass (tasty), a small (20 - 22 inches) barracuda, and a sculpin (very tasty!). Fun fishing. I love Halibut and would love to be able to go out and catch those. One guy nailed one on my trip. It was probably in the neighborhood of 20lbs.Quote:

Did catch 4 bass on drop shot though. I totally forgot to try those spinnerbaits you made :o I am planning on hitting it again soon though so I'll make sure to throw them for a while :D
Did you hit the secret spot yet?
No LOL I got caught up trying some stuff and never made it there. I am thinking of trying it this Friday though. Getting up that early is hard to do though :p
You had better hurry,lol.Or I'm gonna go and get all the BIG ones.I'll chuck a few back for seed for ya.
Your funny man :D Yeah, after seeing the excessive heat warning for today and tomorrow I think I might just wait until after the weekend to take the boat out. I am not too interested in melting right now.
I am sitting in the a/c in phoenix, been here for 9 days, moved my son out here for college. The heat is crazy hot (ohh but it is a dry heat, ???? ????) 112 is 112, but i have been wondering where the crappie fishing is. We were in San Diego the other day and the temp there was 80, it was great.
Well,you have Lake Pleasant,that holds crappie,but also has every boater west of Mesa hitting it also.You have Bartlett Lake which is a little farther East in Carefree Arizona,then you need to go up to Roosevelt in Globe or San Carlos thru Globe on the Apache Reservation.Which I believe is the best to catch big crappie.
Fished today here in Indiana.. Only 90 degree's and 75% humidity... Still catching fish tho.

Not quite as bad as Az., but upper 90's with high humidity here everyday. I'm ready to start seeing cooler days, but unfortunately that's another couple months.:o
But,you do have to think of safety also.What if you go out early in the morning on a weekday and about the time that you think you should get out of there and your boat won't start?lol.Very easily could be the end of your fishing days,Ha.
