This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete are joined by Dr. Steven Cooke to talk about fishing in the heat of summer and whether hot-weather fishing bans are on the horizon. First, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed include: YouTube handles; new ballast water regulations; and why we don't film in the USA. With those matters out of the way, Dr. Cooke joins the show! Topics discussed include: why water temperature is so important to fish; how shallow water fish survive the heat; why bigger fish do better in warmer water; the hot water bite window; walleye weather; Hoot Owl restrictions; the unreliability of surface temperatures; how to release fish in warm water; the resilience of Northern Pike; scientific muskie handling; leader damage; livewell additives; and much more!
