What's you best hot weather fishing joke? And yes, I am that bored.

Mine is: "It was so hot today that I reeled in a grilled trout!"

I 'member back when I lived in Sumrall, Miss'ippi that when we would have a long dry spell (drought, that is) an' it got real got, I would put sunscreen on all mah fishes afore I threw 'em back after I caught 'em so as they wouldn't git all sunburnt on their backs on account of the water in our ponds gittin' so low.

I can joke about bass & panfish getting hot or stuck in shallow water, but I've seen too many pods of trout holding on in water that was too warm for them and too low to be properly oxygenated. It becomes a matter of life and death very quickly.

And this weekend, the bass have nothing to worry about from me after 0815!!

A quote from John Geirach's No shortage of good days by another author ( I can not recall.)/to lazy to look up etc.

When the water is high the fish eat the ants.
When the water is low the ants eat the fish.

During the recent heat wave and drought in Oklahoma, Bob seemed to be only one person who routinely caught fish and lots of them. Obviously the game warden suspected something and asked to tag along to see his method of catching so many fish. The next day, the game warden showed up and joined him in his boat which only contained a small box, two oars and a net. Bob rowed into a cove, reached into the box and pulled out a stick of dynamite. Immediately, the game warden tells Bob that's illegal and he could arrest him. Bob calmly lights the dynamite and hands to the game warden while saying...

"You going to talk or you going fish?"

Kicked the slats out of my cradle when I first heard that Cajun joke 70+ years ago.
