The middle of July has been humid and this week is marked by showers and thunderstorms. Fortunately we have not had the extreme heat that everyone else on on the Atlantic seaboard seems to be having and I have not had to cancel even one trip so far. An afternoon striper trip on Saturday ended just as the skies opened and Monday's early morning trip started as the showers ended. We had blue skies and warm temperatures by the time we left the water.
The first week of July offered us great summer weather, foggy mornings, sunny breezy afternoons and warm summer temperatures. I have run a lot of trips in the last ten days with a good variety. Family fishing trips, several striper trips and an afternoon nature exploration canoe trip thrown in for good measure.
The last few days have been cold, overcast and foggy with the occasional rain shower or stretch of drizzle. I have come home from my morning striper trip and started a fire in the woodstove to feel warm. In fact on my afternoon trip one afternoon I wore an insulated underwear top and was glad to have it on as the evening wore on. After a warm and dry month of May this is pretty hard to take, I'm sure that summer is here and the warm sunny days are not far off.
