Too hot to fish?

Who says. Looks like if I want to fish I'll just have to put up with the heat. Not a great day but a good day in my book. I went out to the hunting lease to catch these. The water temp was 90 degrees but we had a stiff breeze blowing out the northwest which made it bearable. Here are the pictures. We caught them on jigs with just about any color we tried and I caught 2 of the sac-au-lait on a RoadRunner with an electric chicken BG shad. We were fishing 2 foot below a bobber in 4 foot of water.

Why would anyone leave a perfectly good spinner bait hanging on a limb that was easily reached right from my bow seat. It had about 6 feet of mono on it. The reason I found it is that I through my jig to within 6 inches of the spinner bait and got hung up myself.

good report Gene.....sure looks like a "fishy" place to me.....you got some nice ones....

way to go Gene

It was hot while we were down there. Had a good time but glad to be home.

After the brutal winter we had, I said I wasn't going to say anything - I will now - it's hot. You can cut the air with a knife.

Hot we ain't broke 95 yet this year guys lol. I'll let y'all know it it's hot we are starting a 200 pallet sod job tomorrow

It is hot here too. I have thought about putting out a hoop net and baiting it with a block of ice.

:biggrin

PPG I have left baits in trees because they were extremely close to wasp nest's. Figure if I was lucky enough that they didn't stir when I threw it at them, I would make it a present to them. Later on in the year the wasp's are gone and someone gets a nice bait.

Makes sense I guess. That is if you're afraid of a few little old wasps.

yep...I shore am....

That marsh is a beautiful place and gives up an abundance of table fare.

Inspiring report PPG. Gives me confidence that I can go out to fish whenever I get the chance. Thank u.

Heat is plenty tolerable if you prepare for it, broad brimmed hat, I have a ratty old cowboy hat I keep in the boat... plenty of water, sunscreen. Some provisions for shade in the boat are nice, haven't got that for on mine yet but have seen some good ones on here. Ive yet to spend $60 on one of those fancy long sleeved fishing shirts but I hear they are really good in the heat. If theres a will theres a way...

No need to spend $60 bucks on the shirt at SAMs they sell one that's is called HABIT for $15.00 ad are way better then the $60 shirt I have they get wet fast from sweat and when in doors they dry quick I where them when we plant sod 20 minutes from job to job the shirt drys in the truck

The C.C Store has Crappie.com long sleeve performance shirts that are light, cool, and dry fast......check them out here Crappie.com Tournament/Performance Long Sleeve Shirt

Nice report and pictures Gene. I think that would be a little too hot for me right now!

When are we going to see pictures of your new boat Dwayne?

If we don't fish the hot and cold then our days are too limited. :) Nice marsh canal pics PPG.

At the gathering! lol

Gene that spinner bait looks a lot like one I used back in 1979 when I was guiding except mine was Chart and only had the one willow blade. The bass sure liked it a lot!

Nice catch and looks like you had some good fun!

Nice catch Gene. I've collected 3 crank baits over the last few months.
