We've had the hottest, driest June and had no relief in July so far in San Antonio area. Record number of over 100 degree days.
The only way to stay cool during daytime hours is to hit the rivers here. We find a place with lots of tall tree cover for shade- which is treasured by man and fish alike. The coldest water is within 10 miles of the dam (bottom water outlet) which measures around 55 degrees. Nothing like sitting back in your comfortable pontoon seat, drifting along with your bare feet and legs down to your knees in crystal clear, cool water. Don't even feel the 104 degree air temperature cause your blood is cooled and circulated throughout. Maybe find the closest, cool water and shade if possible? If the Pacific is as cold as I've heard and you can find a sheltered area, might be a possible way to get out. Thin waders that let the cold through might be the way to go if there are hazards. Just an idea, FWIW.

[quote peter805]Its starting to get kinda hot around here ( 100 F ) for
tubing on inland lakes. So surf fishing and the beach for
couple of mounts it is. Or estern sierra, which is
about 6 hours drive.
Too bad, I really like tubing and i just dont have
the balls to take my tube on ocean like TD did some
time ago.
Anyways, If you guys like I can post some pictures
of hot girls at the beach [
