On Fire

[rps]

The water temp guage showed 90 today. Not when I started at 5:45, but when I came off the lake at 4:45.

Just in case you assume I fished that entire time - no, I did not. I was off the lake at 8:30. I caught one - one - almost keeper on a Chompers jig. Nothing on topwater. Then I went in to deal with chores and such. I went back out around 12:30. Trolled the 21 to 26 foot range and had one hit. The fish was connected for maybe two seconds and gone. I did a little spoon jigging around the trees where I had some luck in the last two weeks, but no joy. What a hot and sucky day.

Let's look on the bright side. I got to fish, and I did not get skunked. A good day, even if the only thing on fire was my skin.
