I’ll make this a report but it’s really a warning. Went to the Rappahonock River here in Virginia chasing bass. Caught a few on a dropshot and Ned. I caught a Snakehead that totally destroyed a Buckeye Su-Spin rigged with a Yamamoto Shad Shape Swimmer. Water temps were in the high 70’s, air temps in the low 90’s. My first real exposure to summer heat. I just got back from St Clair where we were in the day/night temps in the 60’s and 40’s. My system was not ready for that shock. I was in lightweight fishing pants, hooded fishing shirt, gloves, buff and hat. I brought plenty of water but by the end of the day I felt like crap with a throbbing headache. Got home, took a cold shower and drank about a gallon of water and started feeling better. Be careful out there! 😉

Here’s one of the bass.

Yeah it's quite warm here too. Very muggy. The dew point just to the west of me is 73 degrees. Soupy would be the word I'd use as a description.

Remember to stay hydrated, it's especially important this time of year.

You need some cotton in your life ! Nice catches

Glad you were able to turn around how you were feeling. That snakehead is really cool-looking!

As a kid I loved the Sun and run around like a shirtless wild heathen no matter the temperature. I was one dark brown white boy and I believed I drew power from the Sun like Superman. At 16 I started working a public job and dating my girlfriend(now wife), so I started wearing shirts more often. Jump 8 years in time, I was a Jet engine mechanic that worked night shift and fished or bowfished most off nights. Now 51, if it's 85 and full Sun I'm cooking. Summertime is all nighttime fishing for this old boy. Coworkers started accusing me of being a vampire.😂
