I was on Lake Conway this past Saturday, According to my Lowrance HDS 7, The water temp at the surface at 2:00 in the afternoon was 99.5 degrees. The other graph I have is also a Lowrance, Elite 7 DI chirp, I turned them both on and the second graph said 99.6 degrees. The fish had to be about half boiled. When its that hot their appetites fall off considerably. When a ole gar wont even pop at a jig its to hot.
My little hook 5 said 91 on dale hollow Saturday evening at dark,at 330 am it was 89.5.

Nimrod was mid 80's but was cloudy this morning . Some lakes already in 90's on surface with full sun . I think it is more low oxygen than temps that hurts fishing in heat of summer . Shallow lakes have little or no thermocline and some that do have extremely low oxygen below that . The temp reading also depends on water depth and transducer depth in full sun or shade . My reading came off trolling motor transducer about 18'' deep , turn off the one on transom cause it is only inches under the surface .
Nimrod was 89 on saturday on my graphs.
Blue mountain was 93.2 Sunday afternoon
fish in the shade or stay home and mow the yard if you are going to just be out in the sun :fish
The transducer on my trolling motor read just slightly warmer than the one on the Jack plate. On my Bass Cat the LSS-2 transducer is almost as deep as the Down imaging transducer on the trolling motor since it is mounted to the jack plate with a transducer shield.Quote:

Even playing goof when the weather is hot is better than mowing grass always rent a cart walking 18 holes aint fun. There is something about hitting that little white goof ball all over the place that is fun.
The MS big four are running 88 to 92 degrees.
