Langer Loc: Lake Havasu City, Arizona

It was certainly cooking this morning when you have a low of 94° at 6:00 a.m. here in the desert of Lake Havasu. But I put my kayak in at Mesquite Bay and was the only one in the parking lot at 7:00 and was out for 4 hours. I caught two small stripers on a shad crankbait and then anchored near a buoy that I had had a huge hit 2 weeks ago. Either a large Catfish or huge Largemouth hit a worm hard as I was drifting it past the same buoy and he broke my leader. So today I was soaking a plastic crawdad and again the rod tip bounced twice and all of a sudden he's taking line and boom gone. I think I tie good knots but the hook had given way at the leader and the knot came loose so that upset me. But I'll probably be out there again tomorrow morning in that same spot looking for him

Yes fellas it was cooking again today, got out for 2 hours and didn't have a hit the whole time at Mesquite Bay. Finally 10:00 rolls around and I had to take a quick swim and get on out of there, many people are getting sick around here from being out in the heat, need to be careful. No let up either for the next week or so. Heading up the coast in 10 days through Big Sur and a few days in the fog of SF.

Hey Colorado it's actually warmer I should say hotter at 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning with no Breeze then 9:30 or 10:00 when a nice 8 mile an hour breeze kicks up. I was out yesterday on the South Shore and Bill Williams River and was cooking until after 9:00 and it was much more tolerable and I split by 11 a couple of hits, no fish and taking the day off today as it's to hit 122° wow!
I used to find the same thing on the golf course in Palm Springs as the sprinklers would be going at night and it would be so hot/humid til the sun would burn off the moisture and by 8:30 would be cooler.
So now we can hope the monsoons come soon, that'll change things up. I put 4 water dishes out now for any wildlife that wants a drink as there's no water anywhere in my neighborhood.
