Low 90's every day now and humid. Some good early morning fishing however, but it's over at about 8 AM. August is always miserable and the fishing sucks then too. Looking forward to November, the fishing picks up, recreational boats are gone, and the weather, though cold, is still good enough for fishing.
Dang! I didn’t think it would get that cold in KY. Beautiful country up there but if it gets that cold, no thanks. We literally had maybe three mornings last winter when it was below 32. Unless we get a really strong front, it’s usually not too bad. Although, we have had snow on the ground for a day or two. We once had snow one weekend and then we were fishing in shorts/short sleeves by the next.
As an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force, I worked outside pretty much all the time. First 7 years were in Blytheville, AR. From there I went to Plattsburgh, NY and when that closed, I was sent to Wichita, KS. The winters in upstate NY could be brutal but I enjoyed that a lot better than the stifling heat and humidity of AR and KS.
