Unless it is a good cool front. Had planned ongoing with flintcreek this morning. But the wife wanted me to help her do some things before she went to work. So I wasn’t planning to go. But we finished and she left. I went out and it felt pretty comfortable so I thought I’d go a while. Got on the water around 10 and it wasn’t to bad. Caught one keeper crappie and a good Gill. That was it. And realized I’d paddled a little too far. It got HOT QUICK!!!

Not worth going in this weather.
No sir. I’m just obsessed. This is the first year I’ve ever caught any crappie at all past the second week of may. I’ve been catching just enough to keep me excited. But it’s just too much now.Quote:

About 30 minutes is all I can stand. After that I get in the shade a bit and then go back to fishing.

That "paddled too far " is easy to do
Specially when the wind shifts
Love my powerboat.

To hot for me for sure!
It was 72 last night with enough humidity to keep me soaked with sweat
Its sho nuff hot, but when you catchem it makes it worth it.
True. The duck grass had settled on all my deep holes making them unfishable. If I’d been catching it would have been more tolerable.Quote:

What really stinks is we had a Covid positive at work and I can’t go back until Thursday. If it had to happen why couldn’t it be when the fishing is good??lol. I just may have to get there at daylight tomorrow and fish a little while close.

Man yea better than working or sitting at the house.
Sorry to hear about that positive case. At least you caught a few. It is still warm and humid after dark. If I had days off I would check out the night bite
Come on you are off tomorrow!
Noooo!!!Got on the water a little after 6 and was soaked in just a few minutes.If I ever catch one that’s it. I’ll stay all day. Lol. Couldn’t take anymore and left around 2.Quote:

We recently bought a Kobalt 24V jobsite fan. It sits on a 5 gal bucket and has a hose a spray nozzles to mist as it blows. We got it for our kids football practices/games so my wife and I can use it while we watch and then when our boys get water breaks we can turn on the misting feature. The misting feature isnt super practical for fishing but the fan is nice. Would work well for bank fishing or if you had room on your boat's deck. Could run the mist every now and then off of lake water too lol.
I’m already maxed out in the kayak. But that would be nice.Quote:

This trip I went and cooled off in the truck a few minutes before trying to drag up the bank. That helped more than I thought.

I could see how that would make a big difference.Quote:

They make small rechargeable fans that go around your neck. They work well and last for several hours on a charge. Around your neck is Kayak friendly. Just sayin.... :cheers2
I have a couple on my boat, I think the brand is Blaux? Regardless of the name, they are refreshing during the summer!
May have to look into that. Out in the open without much shade to get in is tough. ThanksQuote:

The fans are nice to have. I bought the Dewalt fan to put in to boat when I am dock shooting. I have yet to use it in the boat. We have had 2 scheduled power outages this month Saturday night from midnight until at least 4 am. The fan sure did come in handy to move some air while we slept. The German Shepherd loves the fan also. It is her favorite.Quote:
