you shouldn't have a problem, was in the 90's all day with plenty of humidity, I was out in the sun all day fighting fence and creosill (just touching that crap will light your azz on FIRE!). Oh yeah, just saw your a yankee. You prolly shouldn't go out unless you have a houseboat with ac, yankee's can't handle anything above 82.

oh man that will leave mark rob.. i have a temp gauge suspended 8 feet off the ground over the center of a steel round table at work 122 degrees at 3 pm this is under a roof. i sit out in the open on top of a inline 6 desiel engine. the only thing between me and the intake is sheet metal and a black seat.. so go ahead tell ME it aint hot buddy..

Guys, I know everyone wants to be "macho" and show how badass they are by "being out in the heat" and whatever...sometimes we can't even help it(work)..but just be cautious and for anyone that does choose/have to be outside..stay hydrated and be smart.

[WTL]

Ken you are right to a degree. I'm a young man in great health, not overweight or anything like that and the heat has gotten me before. There is no getting around it, we are human, flesh and blood and all and that heat can be killer if you don't adjust. That doesn't mean give up when its hot, but drink plenty of fluids and fish smart.

Mowing grass is one thing, fishing like a madman all day long with no water breaks is another. I can mow grass no matter what the temp if I got a cool room sitting there waiting at the end of it.

[crankybait]

go for it... maybe ill try to get out today too... of course id go later when its cooler.

You think you have it bad? Try goin to football camp for 3 hours a day in 100degree weather.

[ILfishinman]

hehe i hear ya bassking, i played freshman football last year, during the summer we had 2 a days, 2 practacis everyday with like 2 hrs between. i aint playin this year due to the fact i just about broke my neck last year, i pulled 3 muscles in my neck and i could barly move it. it was painful

[zooker]

played in high school and a big ten collage. i retired from playing or rather was forced to retire. but i aquired some high end hardware out of it 12 screws 2 bolts -with nuts- 12" over all stainless steel u channel. and a plastic thing about the size of a golf ball.. cost $25000 not counting the 1.5 years it took me to learn to walk again..

WELCOME TO MY WORLD Last week went out with dad one day(thursday I think ) The water temps in "TROUT CREEK" were 95 degrees in some spots. Thats surface temp Got as cool as 89 in one place though. No wind that day, 96 degree temps, and only caught 1 dink and a mudfish for 6 hours of fishing 10am-4pm Fish were just to wrecked to bite, even the skeeters were too hot to bite I've been fishing with Kirk quite a bit, gonna fish a tourney this sunday with him. It has not been under 90 degrees for over a month when we've been on the water. I'm getting use to the heat, and no way do I want move back where it snows, but it is summer, and it does get HOT!

ROTFLMAO Could you be a little more specific Lot's of Weeds down here Glad your catching them. I have caught some, but no doubt it's summer, and new waters to me. Got a lot to learn about tides/rivers/tanic water/ etc... A whole new learning curve, and the only thing I gotta do to learn it is go fishing

Yes, some of us do have it bad. Some of us work in this heat daily for a living. Secondly, it's not 100 degrees during camp, unless you guys are absolute morons, it's somewhere in the 90's, cuz you probly run from about 8-11, correct? Third, 3 hour a day camp? Is this girl scouts? What happened to two a days and 5 hour practices?

[WTL]

Yea, well when I was a kid...I had to walk to school 5 miles every day in 3 feet of snow...and it was about 98 degrees cuz it was in Alabama, one friend had heat stroke and died, right their in the snow, so there....

[KenDammit]

thats nothing, I had to walk 10 miles uphill both ways in 5 feet of snow and the heat index was 110 all day long!

[flfireman]

Lizzie good luck in the tourney. Tell Kirk I said hey also. Weeds and woods, weeds and wood. Yes, It's hot, dang hot. Try wearing bunker gear and going to a brush fire in the middle of the day. I'm gonna market it as a new revolutionary weight loss plan.

[zooker]

so hose holder did ya hit popeyes on the way home again??
here they have the best sweet tea



zooker

[fishie23]

I would stop complaining about the heat and fish like me

[flfireman]

Yeah, the sweet tea is one of the best. No popeyes today, trying to cut down on all the grease. Limiting myself to 1 trip every other week.

[bassintom]

i'm in jersey and unfortunately we don't have sweet tea here...i would move south just for the sweet tea.

[WTL]

Yall don't have sweetened tea?

What is it then? Like, tea without sugar? They make that?
