Hadn't been on the water for a couple of weeks with the heat and humidity being at record levels all week. I wanted to see what kind of impact it would have on the local fishery and the bait situation.

That was a nice one!

[@SpruceSculptures]

Get a dehumidifier for your house. It will allow your AC to work much more effectively if it is sized correctly for the BTU needs of the home.

[@daveenlow1103]

Love the excitement of your treasure finds on your outings!

[@spottedwolf1864]

High pressure was/is predicted to dominate the S.E. USA because of El Niño.... Lots of big and strong hurricanes are also predicted in the eastern Atlantic off Africa because of higher than normal surface temperatures.... The predicted high is also predicted to steer those storm off and northward. BUT ! ! ! At times when that high breaks down or moves.... If it happens at the same time as a big hurricane, that storm might come westward and threaten the East Coast of the USA.....
