Some like it HOT. 6-26-08

Started out this morning in the spot that has been treating me good. Had 3 poles out and "BANG" fish on. Then caught 2 more quick ones on the remaining 3 rods and things went dead the further East I trolled towards the shipping channel. I turned the boat back around and started back SW against the waves and when doing so poped a fish on the slow side of the boats turn. So I slowed our troll down to 1.6, which is kinda slow for rattle tots. Things soon picked up but only for a while. I should mention when we started out this morning it was 68 degrees. By this time 11:00am it was in the low 80's and climbing. I'm not sure if I speeded up to keep cool or thinking the warmer air and water temps would get the fish excited. But by the time we threw #20 in the box I was trolling 2.7 mph on the GPS and we were catching fish after fish. Ended up throwing the last 3 keepers back. But man did that heat take its toll on me.

WTG Dan. It was a fantastic day to be on the water.

Great Job, Dan.

Hope you are recovering from the heat ok.

Ya, I know when to slow down, and I always take 2 jugs of iced Gator Aide on every trip out. Being a big guy, me and hot or humidity never did get along. I'm the guy you see outside wearing a T-shirt until November.

I can definitely relate to that. My boat does not leave the dock, without a cooler full of ice water. And that is MY supply.
