| Big fish get crabby could get the biggest fish of you life in the hottest part of the day which takes a toll or go for numbers at night which i like. Top water and cranks both fished slow at night work great |

Location: Waconia,MN | Last time i was out the water temp was back up to 77, that was last week. I can only imagine that the water temps are back on the rise and are more than likely back into the 80's. From what i understand it puts a lot of stress on the fish. |

Location: Waconia,MN | I dont know if it would slow the bite down, but warmer water and handling of the fish can be hard on them. |

Location: Wisconsin | the warmer the water the better for where I fish. Just harder on the fish, but they seem to hold up better in the river. |

Location: Walker, MN | I had 80 degree surface temps on Portage bay of Leech lake tonight with a storm on the horizon and falling barometer and still no fish moving. A late summer/fall cooldown can't come soon enough!! |

| Keep in mind that temp swings of a few degrees are common on the surface. The bigger question is the overall temp of the water column. I suspect at least here in the metro that temps below the surface are at worst mid 70s. |

| If we get a full week of this heat water temps will be over 80. This is not fat guy weather. Worked in it all day/ in a greenhouse. |
