Brutal today at Lincoln. Arrived at the launch at 4:30 and held forth until about 10:00 hoping to catch my 36 incher and get off the water before the heat became unbearable. Hoped to have a full crew but the boys had to haul hay -- more brutal.
Started out near the "L" and towed carplettes attached to a TD flig westward in about 7-8 fow. Good fishun'. Caught one big black tom cat that i thought for sure was going to be my first 30 incher... not so, big head but only 27 inches. Kept four in the live well for a measure and photo op before releasing them. Three of them reached the 27 inch mark and one checked in at 28.
Lots of carp activity all along the shore. When i arrived at the launch there were carp thrashing in the channel before daylight.
With this hot weather fishing will be limited to mornings or evenings for me. When the nice green lake water starts to look tasty I'm outta there. I always have water with me but seems like you can't drink fast enough to stay hydrated.
The chase continues.
