Too Hot to Fish?

[frogtog]

Aside from the obvious "night fishing" solution, if it's going to be 90+ degrees, and I'm not working, the only place I will be is on the lake. It's not just a fishery, it's my 223 acre pool!!

Avid- JUMP IN ONCE IN A WHILE!!!

You got a 223 acre pond? NE is not that far, I can be their in about 8-9 hours.

I would rather be cold than hot. I can put on as many clothes as I want to stay warm but can only take off so many clothes to stay cool.

Its too hot to fish when your sweating so much you cant tie a knot on your lure.

Today was tooooooo hot. Off by 10 AM on days like this.

George made a good point to me about this in a pm.

It's always hot in Florida in the summer, but we are not getting the typcial afternoon rain.  The lightning comes up but the rain showers that cool things down and dry out the air, ain't been happenning.  

I tell it's those guys in area 51.  If illegal aliens are allowed to stay in the country does that include the little green guys from the planet Mongo?

I don't mind the heat at all. It could be 100 degrees out and I will still fish for 8 hours...done it beofre, and will continue doing it. But, I make sure I keep the sunscreen on, and have plenty of cold fluids such as water or Gatorade on hand. Jumping in is a good solution if the area you are fishing allows it. Problem is pretty much ALL the areas I fish don't allow it.

Cold, for me, is the enemy. Once it gets below 50 degrees I am not a happy camper, I rarely egt out on the water when it is below 50 degrees cuz I HATE being cold...that and fishing in cold temps from the bank is PAINFULLY slow fishing.

As long as I remember to bring a gatorade or something else to drink, I can usually fish in weather up to 90 degrees. With the humidity hear in North Carolina, anything warmer than that is heck on earth.

Avid said he values his cojones too much to jump in the water in Florida!

Middle GA heat has been known to fry an egg on its asphalt but I'm a hot weather guy being born-n-raised in South Florida. Give me 100 degree heat over 32 degree cold any day!

While there isnt much fishing in 32 degree weather I would be much more comfortable in 32 degrees than 100.  I thought 88 and sunny this weekend was a little tough but still got out and caught a few fish. When it is high 80s and 90s I try to get out 3 or 4 hours in the morning and the same right before dark.
