Fishing Ideas To Withstand A Heat Wave

I live in Texas, and during the summer months the heat can be unbearable.  I love fishing, but during that time of year, I can not stay out in my boat very long before I am miserable.  However I love fishing so much that I usually force myself to go out at least a two or three weekends a month, even though it is very hot outside.  Over the past few years I have tried to come up with a few new ways to enjoy the fishing experience without having to go out fishing during the heat of the day.  My favorite fishing ideas to withstand a heat wave are playing fishing games and fishing in the dark.

I have a few computer fishing games that I like to play during the summertime, because I can enjoy many of the aspects of fishing without having to get out in the heat.  I like to play the realistic bass fishing games that lets you fish real lakes, so that I can plan where I am going to fish when I really visit that particular lake.  I also like to try out different lures and dead or live bait to see which species of fish tend to bite on which types of bait.  All of these aspects of fishing games allow me to have fun fishing without having to be out in the heat.

Fishing in the dark is also a great way to enjoy fishing without killing myself.  Many of the lakes that I fish allow night fishing, but most of them having designated areas for night fishing, so it is safer for all of the fishermen.  It is also fun and usually more challenging to fish in the dark, because you have to be very careful when navigating, and you get to use really cool things like lighted lures to help you catch fish.  Fishing in the dark can be lots of fun and very rewarding, but you also have to be very careful, because it is much easier to get hurt at night.
