Too hot!



Already back, unloaded and showered! Literally spewed breakfast after trim mowing my 4th small residential today, figured rest could wait 'til EARLY tomorrow morning.

Hope you're feeling better. Same here except I kept breakfast down. We'll have your heat on Sunday so I'll do a little work tomorrow morning and I could be done till Wednesday.

yo bassin....trying to talk my dad into letting me bring his lil john boat back with me to do some lake fishing.....any tips for catching the big one....time of day ect....?

Thanks, Felt pretty good until I just got hot and tossed? I knew enough to stop, get home, get in cold shower and call it a day. Sweet tea is sipping might nicely I must add too.


This time of year bigger bass are only feeding at night. Most tourneys I fish this time of year are @ night due to this and the heat/wear on fishermen. Dusk and dawn are always good. Surface lures @ each of these times can produce big fish and tons of excitement seeing bass blow up on topwater lures. (Buzzbaits, Pop-R, Gunfish, Sammy, Slash Walkers, Spooks, JitterBugs etc.) Full moon nights are STRONGLY recommended.

Need to add this. Just because these bass feed more actively @ night this time of year does not mean they won't react on a lure. I.E. a spinner bait, crankbait or something a fish will hit as a reaction. Banging these lures into cover will entice a reaction strike and produce more/bigger fish during heat of day. By banging lure or causing it to appear injured a bass will react instinctively and nail your lure as a reaction, not out of hunger.

Not to scare you but there are stories like this weekly! I have been fishing all my life and these still get me in the gut/heart. Take a look...

In God's hands...

Sorry, it works now. Check out other stories, like the folks jumping 80' off bluff into quarry and 2nd person hits first! Interesting/scary shat!

Rarely do you read one w/fatality that had on PFD. I wear one every time I start big motor. Lost 2 bassin' buddies in my 7 years of competitive fishing due to them not wearing this simple lil' vest! Just put it on folks.
