I live in westport on the coast, and its supposed to be like 15 - 20 degrees cooler than anywhere else, right?? WRONG!! Its been the same temp as it has in the city with a few degrees cooler, but it hit 95 here with 98% humidity so it felt like a flippin sauna, and the pool is like a bathtub. I haven't been to work in almost a month, i work with my mom's landscaping business, and there's no weeds to pull, and its just to darn hot to do anything else.. I can't wait till school, atleast i wouldn't be totally board outta my mind..

Is it me or do i remember a few of us saying that they miss the colder temps before?

Look on the bright side guys, the ocean is much warmer on average this year vs last. Maybe we will see viable fishing into December and only have 3.5 months of the winter blues.

Definitely need afew more nights in the 50s and maybe a few forties to get things jumpstarted again. Has it been cold at night @ the Cape the last few? Suppose to be in the mid 50s at night all week in this neck of the woods. I know that 2 weeks ago I really had to work my arse off to get anything without nasty teeth from shore. The water was like fishweewee.
