An early morning start looking for temperature, I set up right outside the pier heads. 70.9 degree water top to bottom, so we continued west with four riggers an a pair of divers. Sixty feet of water, 70.9 degrees top to bottom. 70', 80', 90', 70.9 degree water top to bottom. This can't be right, so I change out the probe, and still 70.9 degrees. I continue west out to 150 fow, and still 70.9 degrees. This did not look good, so I decided with the strong east wind, I'd head back in towards the shallows. We took all 4 year olds at 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, and missed two at 40 fow on the way back in. One shy of our two man limit, they shut down, so in we went wondering if we should have stayed at the mouth all morning.

A strong off shore wind all night would surely bring some colder water near shore, so we set in right away, and found only warm water again, but we had to be off the water by 9am, so we stayed right out front, with our six rod spread, in 40-50fow. We took 4 for 6 in an hour or so, and took all 4 year olds again.

Sunday, All the hits came on a white spin dr, with crush glow/green oil slick with a no-see um action fly, 80 feet back on a regular dipsy set on three, always on the inside turn, and as slow as I could go.

Saturday it was a black spin dr, with crush glow/crush glow, no see um action fly, 150 back on a regular dipsy set on three, took three fish, and a dw dr.death spoon, 57 feet down, 20 feet back, and 62 feet down, 10 feet back, on riggers took two fish. We missed one fish each on the same two baits that took fish.

Slower than normal speeds seemed to be the key in the warmer water on both days. It looks like all the cold water was over on the other side of the lake from the strong sw winds just before the weekend.
