For All You Guys Who Wanted Summer...
Well, you got it... 
I was just out in the yard for about an hour doing some digging in the sun
Geeeezuzzz - even the balls of my feet are sweating... 
C'mon September...  |

My sentiments exactly!

The nice thing about this weather is not needing a winter hat when heading out for some night fishing.
T-shirt, light rain jacket and you're good to go. This time of year, we're only out 'fishing' for exercise anyway.

Digging holes? That's what wives are for. I go down cellar. It's cool and there is a lot of fishing stuff down there.

Ditto on the bikinis... Man I can't believe what I am seeing  , exceptional, truly exceptional. 
Your right though, I prefer the 70 deg days, and 50 deg nights any day. Sept is gonna be great. I have a feeling we are going to see outstanding fishing this Sept with these delayed water temps reaching highs in mid September and lots of sand eels around. I hope we see the king and Spanish mac's inshore again...maybe some yellow-fins within 5 miles of the shore like a few years back, now that would be sweet. |

Yes, I know...devoted birder that I am...
Spotted the first flock of red-breasted warblers at roughly 10 AM...and they increased in numbers throughout the morning
It was so hot that I thought it was wise to take frequent breaks and sit on the porch to cool off - took a break at 10 AM...then another at 10:30 or so...then 10:55....11:15, maybe another at 11:27 or thereabouts... 
BEEEYOOOOTIFUL plummage, squire... 
However, the best gig had to be the Coastie I know who got assigned to CG Station Castle Hill for the Festival - he spent the day yesterday doing safety boardings and checking out the ....uhhhh...deck hardware....

Another hot one today and I had the day off with plans for painting...  ...or maybe a little more brick work in the yard... 
And then the phone rings - it's Komes wanting to know if I'd like to go fluking for the day on Shack Attack
I agonized over it for at least 10 seconds before running out of the house like it was on fire...
I've gotta tell ya, the guilt is nearly overwhelming

Where there fluke?
I was thinking the plumage watching from the porch on Thames street would have been outstanding yesterday.
