2009 Water Temperature Information
The water temp was seen over 60 degrees yesterday and there was another day of nice sunshine today. The fishing has been excellent the last 3 days and will likely stay good as long as the weather is fairly stable.
There is a possible thunder boomer heading into the area later today, but perhaps it will slip around the edge of everything and not disturb the best stretch of weather and fishing we've seen so far this spring.
The only downside? The dandelion crop would be considered "bumper" this year and they grow back a day after mowing them down. I just don't have the ambition or energy to spray everything around the resort. I guess I'll be putting more hours on the John Deere lawn tractor mowing the buggers until they give up.
The Sun is doing its thing
72 in the same back bays the night of July 5. Saw some 68-69 in Miles Bay in the mid morning when I got out for a few hours on Sunday.
Still cooling over night.
66 on the surface at the dock this morning. It was up to 68 on one of the two spots I fished last night at 9:30pm after a sunny day.
We're still losing the ground we gain during the day with cool nights.
this is getting depressing
I purposely didn't check the temp yesterday and didn't plan to today, but a couple of rental boats were returned and I couldn't resist flipping on the depth finders to see what the water temps said. I wish I hadn't. I'm a sucker for punishment I guess.
62.4 degrees on one of the units and 63.1 degrees on the other.
One boat on each side of the gas dock. One of the them is set a little lower in the water because it's a different style hull.
Please don't shoot the messenger!!!
it can't get lower...can it?
Would you believe 59.7 - 60.0 degrees on someones hummingbird graph this morning at the gas dock?
Heading in the right direction
Was out for a few hours last night (July 18). Saw it as high as 65, but mostly in the 63-64 range. One day of sun helped a lot. More sun coming today.
wild on anti-inflammatories
Hey BB,
Not too much crown for me. Stayed off the sauce except for a half glass of wine for the toasts because I was planning to go to the local ER to get checked out for the aching back I had. Just my luck too. They had an open bar and I had a DD. BUMMER!
The party wasn't out of hand when I left, but I'm usually gone before that happens anyway.
