Weather

So what's the weather been like for you guys?

We had a very cool/cold spring. We were burning wood well into May. In June we used the furnace a lot. It rained, or threatened to rain constantly. The shallow water fish movement, and spawn were behind by at least a couple of weeks. I am betting more then that. We were out fishing yesterday and I really think we are into "Summer Peak". The fish have spawned, rested, and are now on the feed.

The summer switch was flipped the first of July. We went from cool/cold to stinking hot. Being a guy from far north-east Wisconsin it doesn't take long for summer heat to get old.

So how about you guys?

Been over 100 degrees for many days now, maybe weeks I am not sure. No rain in sight. Lake levels are suffering terribly. I heard its the worst drought conditions in 50 years. One lake nearby I heard will not be accessible in another week or so, only boats on there will be those who have a slip at the marina. All Ramps unusable. Not allowed to wash cars, water grass etc etc. We NEED rain!!

Extremely hot + extremely dry = Toledo Bend @ 162.64 which is 9.36’ below normal & an all time record low.

On the up side fishing in the early morning or at night is awesome; in a recent 3 fish tournament the winning weight was 20.88 lbs.

It just seemed like there was a fast transition from winter to summer without having a real spring. It's much different than last year.

It's been in the mid 90's-100's for the last couple weeks and fishing has suffered. It's hard to stay out all day because the heat index has been over 110 for most of that time. I wish I could get out and night fish but I work nights so I'm stuck with nothing but days to fish!
