What's with this weather? (ny) It's too friggin' hot!!

How are you folks doing with the striped ones up there?

It's 91 degrees in the city as I speak. Water temps have gone up considerably and the offshore guys are starting to get busy.

My bassing has come to a screaching halt. Even at night. I'll be going out for stripers again this weekend but man, I miss the 75 degree air temps. Guess it's time for the fluke/porgy/c-bass down here.

LOL - First we complain it's always raining and too cold (this spring), and now it's too hot. Guess humans are harder to please than the fish sometimes. Told you someone had to say it. ;)

Vince,

After roasting all day I froze my butt off on the Cape last night.
Wind shifted from SW to N/NW some time after midnight. Brrrr...

:smash:

FWW - I couldn't take the heat anymore and went on a mixed fluke/porgy trip out of the north shore LI. Ended up winning the pool with my personal best porgy of 17". LOL Yep! I won a pool with a porgy! Fluking was very slow though.

It was so hot that 2 bags of ice were sacrificed in a vain attempt at keeping 12 SCHWEET eels alive from Rhody to Eastham. Only 2 survived and this was using a proper multibucket setup :rollem:

:smash: Yep - remember that switch very well - wind started honking around frm the NW that I had to move back to find some lee...

We hit the Cape Thursday AM and when that blanket of heat and humidity hit my four female passengers I thought they might mutiny and head back to NJ and the A/C, but they bucked up and I rigged up eight rods set to the task of fishing (well they did, it appeared they thought my position in life was to keep them properly baited). Bass River was producing the occasional cocktail, really nothing more to speak of day or night there, but huge spider crabs (though Molly Benjamin says there are fluke in the river, too), the end of West Dennis Beach is now closed off due to an alleged plover nesting (BUMMER), and the wind shift cancelled a boat trip on Sat., so basically I baited about 1,000 hooks and the only keeper bass I came home with was embroidered on the hat my wife tossed to me saying, "Here, catch, now you can say you caught a bass." (HA-HA, you're a regular riot Alice!)

Skunked from NJ (but I'll be bock!)
