Friends of ours live in Clearwater. They say in the summer they stop and get three blocks of ice and toss them in the pool.

I hear the Gulf side has "a nice breeze" to keep humidity lower...  I would imagine any of the coasts would have a bit more wind to keep things a bit more comfortable than inland a bit does.  Those days in the 90's here, if there is shade and a breeze, I find it to be about as comfortable as any temp.  Same thing when I am at the beach.  Get out from under the tent/umbrella and I have about 10 minutes.

They all say you get used to it.  I have some refugee neighbors from Nepal.  There are old guys wearing winter coats and hats in the 90 degree heat...  I'm guessing they haven't got used to the "cold" here yet?  They must be in shear pain when it drops to negative temps.

We typically went tarpon fishing the last week of June in the Keys. Temps in the 90’s with humidity above 80%. I did okay with it because once the sweat starts running down your crack (about 5 minutes), all bets are off and who cares.

We would drink a case of water between the two of us throughout the fishing day and never have to pee because you sweated it out.

Always before heading in for the day, the guide would say, “It’s going to be hot on land.”

No, poo Sherlock, it’s hot out here on the water!

usually takes me about 5 seconds for that to happen on the gulf coast of mississippi.  
 
there is a very nice breeze on the gulf that makes it tolerable to be on the beach even on the hottest days but dadgummit, in june, july and august when you get two blocks off the beach it's a different kind of hot down there than i've ever felt anywhere else.  
 
always thought i'd die if i lived in the south, but the older i get, the more i'm thinking i like the idea of trading december through march here for may through september down there. 
 
to get a bit back on topic, the spot i fished on arthur last night was insanely active with alewives and wipers, although i still can't catch a wiper on a bomber to save my life.  finally took pork's advice and got a cast net a few weeks ago, but i only got it so my youngest can have some fun when we're there at night, and it has paid off for him.  keeps him from getting bored waiting for me to hook nothing on a bomber, and it usually only takes a few minutes for a fish to eat an alewife once we actually get a few in the cast net.

Welp all this talk about high humidity and temps made me do it......  so it'snot my fault.  OK?
 
Disclaimer:  It'snot my fault about type of commercials or surveys.... either, OK?
 
 
I'm thinkin won't be long before we see Youtube vids featuring "Zelie Beach Dude"  but til then, as they say in the south....  fish on y'all!!!

A friend was out yesterday for a little bit.. he told me someone had a jetski out there. Anyone else see that? If so, where the heck are the rangers at? And I thought it couldn't get any worse.

Wow.  That takes some huge kahunas or just completely illiterate.  I hope he got busted.

Nothing surprises me anymore T. Especially with the influx of pedestrian boat owners/kayakers . Hopefully it lets up by fall. Can't wait for our "field day" . Talked to Brock the other day, him n Rich are in for sure.

Don't be surprised, as desperate as the PFBC is, PWCs and bigger horsepower will be permitted on many of the local lakes.

Promoting fishing only lakes as multi-purpose lakes will change the economy for places like Jamestown, Andover, and local areas.... big time. Likewise, areas around other lakes such as Arthur will benefit, likely more, attracting crowds from Pittsburgh and Youngstown areas.

PA anglers & boaters alike, never imagined HP limits changing from 10 to 20 across PA.



Good times and tight lines. 🎣
