62 to 82 +/- no clouds and humidity in the teens during the day a up to 50% at night.

just back from some time in the San Juan Islands...almost strayed into CA...temp a fair amount cooler and a dab of rain now and then but all in all a fine place. Seafood was wonderful but terribly expensive...$15 for 5 fried oysters. We used to get a bushel for $20 and a $5 tip from the Chesapeake Bay. But that's been a few weeks ago or so it seems. #1 son is trying to raise crawdads in a barrel but I can't seem to keep him from snatching some to see how they taste. Gotta let em breed and make little crawdads that will grow up to be biggens.

I bought some smoking pellets that are from LA and was supposed to be wonderful on seafood. Going to try them on dead pig ribs this weekend.

Gas was $6 or a bit more and glad to get back to Idaho for $4.65 gas. I'm getting a little tired of the actions of those folks in DC that I didn't vote for.

Wondering where you went to. Sounds like you had a good trip. I bought some nice size scallops yesterday. I think 20 for $8 something. Can’t wait to fry them up.
mph my brother caught a nice salmon in Cape Breton on the Margaree, where he lives, last week. Caper

Thanks, I’ll tell him
And man that’s hot. It was 80 here today and it felt really hot. Haha.
Don’t know what I’d be doing in that temperature your going to get. Sit in the ac I guess. What did you guys do before Ac. I can’t imagine trying to sleep. 🥵

Your so tired from sweating you just fall off to sleep in a puddle of sweat.

Yes it is. Can’t take it right out of the water. Not many around for the last few years, he would release it anyway.

I keep a flannel shirt handy, we keep our house at 75* and that feels cold at times after getting acclimated to hot temps. I go into a office complex and wear it in, 72* is cold!

It’s been catch and release on the Margaree for a lot of years, trying to get the numbers up.

I think it's age related...kids think I'm a wimp and I am.

You guys up North probably know of or use circle hooks, they are great for catch and release, even hooked deep using bait.

 

[Smitty335]

I bought several sizes of the Circle hooks in Ely about 1.5 hours South of International Falls on the way to Canada. You can use pretty small ones if you are using Leeches and up size if you are using minnows. What do you guys use?

I guess this is weather related
I was looking for snowmobile trail maps for Cape Breton and saw this picture of in the highlands. Thought someone might enjoy it. Might make you feel cooler. Haha
