Another hot one
The heat is back for another day, and so is the heat advisory from the National Weather Service. Temperatures for Wednesday are expected to reach 96˚F, a little hotter than it was yesterday, and we’ll be getting a bit more sun as well. With a relative humidity around 45%, it should be nice enough to spend some time in the park in the late afternoon. I’ve heard the best time to fish for snakeheads is at the tail-end of a few days of hot weather, so I’ll likely be making my way to John Heinz or FDR with a couple of those neat frog lures.
