2011 Water Temps

[Justin Gaudry]

61-63 degrees in the evening after several days of sunshine.

Cooler overnight temps coming over the weekend.

Back to normal forecasted temps next week.

Looks like things are right on schedule for a second week of October start to the fall trolling season!

Hi Justin. I see you've had another hot week on the south end of LOTW. Have you started trolling yet or are you still casting? Any idea when the trolling bite may start?

Thanks

Rick

Hey Rick,

Planning to give trolling a shot this weekend, but have advised a couple of our groups to have the casting gear ready. They will likely cast during the afternoon when temps are at the warmest of the day and trolling morning and evening. Water temps still 60 and above...trolling bite may be a bit behind schedule at this rate, but I will see what's going on out there I hope.

Weather for Saturday looks WINDY so may not get out much or far Saturday...will hit it harder Sunday/Monday if that is the case.

Thanks Justin. Just checking the weather and it looks like the south end of the lake is getting thunderstorms today, with very high winds west of you. I'm heading to the Angle next weekend for a week, so I hope the weather settles down some. I bought a couple of Boobie Traps like the one you were using in the summer, so I'll make sure to throw in some casting equipment if it stays warm.

Good luck this weekend.

Sounds like the weather will be going back down to normal temps this week and that should help get the trolling bite going. Had 3 boats casting yesterday and they only caught one fish.

I didnt make it out with the wind, but will be out some today and tomorrow.

Good luck with your trip, Rick. It's great that you can fish with the master a little before he hangs up his guide hat. Tell Doug I said hello from Sabaskong and not to put too many 50s in the boat before I even get a chance to start fishing over here. HAHA

57/58 degrees everywhere I fished on sunday/monday (Oct 10/11.)

Need it to come down a little bit more to get things rolling.

50-53 degrees in different areas on Monday, Oct 17 after some cold/wind blew through over the weekend.
