I was on the water by 6:40am. By 7:20 my shirt was completely soaked through and I'm not exaggerating. There was zero breeze! Sweat was pouring into my eyes between every cast. It was the first time in 46 years I said to myself "I hate Texas" even though I really love it. I couldn't take the heat so I switched shores to duck behind the trees for some shade. I caught a couple on a tube bait from Barlows. Eventually the fishing slowed down and the sun was high so there was no hiding from it. I was headed in but I changed my mind and decided to try along the damn. Good thing I did because I picked up a couple of nice 3 pounders on a Smoked Shad 5' Tiki Stick from Wave Fishing that put on a good jumping show. Sure wish we had that coupon code like we used to.

Anyway, I rarely get a Saturday off so it was great to be able to fish. Steve, I know fish have to eat in this summer heat but air conditioning is really nice. I'll see ya in October for another trip!
