.................water temperature where you boat?

For us we are at 76 F, quite warm for even this time of year.........but not
complaining as we spend a lot of time anchoring in shallow water and
enjoying time *in* the water.

I don't know if the higher than normal temperature is having an adverse
effect on fishing. We will find out later this month when we start going
out for perch.

The Lake is rocking today (strong winds from the north) and will not calm
down till Sunday, so no boating for us till then. ;-)

BTW: The temperature I noted is not the surface temperature. I believe it
is taken 1 mile out at about 30 feet down. Surface temperatures this time
of year can get into the upper 80's.

Do you swim off your boat Don? That seems like a pretty chilly water
temperature that would likely result in serious shrinkage. ;-)

You aren't mature enough (mentally) to be discussing things like that.
Grow up.

Where I would jump in...within St. Margaret's Bay at a very popular
public beach, the lifeguards had the water temp listed at about 68F.
Plenty warm for a refreshing dip.

2th Aug the surface was 18-19 C which comes to 65 F. Plenty warm for
swimming! :-)
