Red hot fishing in red hot temps (CATCH-OF-THE-DAY PHOTOS)

The heat is on, and so is the bite.
With temperatures reaching up into the 90s and feeling like more than 100 degrees outside, folks are braving the heat and pulling in some great catches this week. The six-hour trip seems to be the most popular with the docks abuzz at noon.
But just because the boats are in at noon, doesn’t mean they are done for the day. Most all are doing turn arounds, with a four or another six-hour trip in the afternoon.
