These temps were taken off the same fish finder. An average of 46.6 this time of year prior to this year. I guess we had a fairly mild late fall early winter in 2006 as well. I'm sure the fish are a bit confused with the warmer water temps. I just found this interesting as I like numbers.
I bet the fish know exactly what to do Tap. It is us that are probably going to be confused trying to figure them out after having a string of years of cooler average temps. Except in my case where I need to first go fishing before I can even think about what they are doing but that is another story that keeps unfolding upon me like a never ending nightmare when it comes to free time.CF
