i agree, anyone know murray? id assume its probably pretty close to the same in the 80's
Ask and ye shall receive. As of 12:45am 7-29-10 water temp at the end of the West boat ramp dock was 81 degrees. I was going to take a temperature reading at the east side as well but didn't want to interrupt the couple 'parking' [smilie=brows.gif] .
I took my 3 yr old son out today looking for bluegills, and the temps were 81.5 at about 8 am and by 10 they were 83…im glad i didn't even bring my big rods with me, or i would have been outright depressed.
Water clarity was very good compared to last time i was there, visibility of about 8 ft+ in most spots.

That sucks… where is the algae bloom that should be going on making the water nice and green?
It was in full force a couple of weeks ago, visibility was less than 3' in most places. On the windy side of the lake the water was that light green color, but for the most part, in calmer water the visibility was pretty "good"
As a side note to liking visibility, as a bit of a novice still, i love being able to see the action of my baits, and follows from a long way away, as opposed to not seeing the fish, because of waves or dirty water, till they are right near the boat. some day i hope my confidence gets to a point where i don't care as much about the visual aspect.

It is always nice seeing fish, but it seems fish are definitely more open to eating baits when the water is dirtier. It is hard to go without seeing fish, but I would definitely rather catch two fish and have no other follows than have ten follows and catch none of them.
Might give it a whirl early Saturday morning. It's supposed to get down to 49 degrees Friday nite and 80 on Saturday. I figure being on the water at 2 or 3 am and off by 9 0r 10. Monday is supposed to be 90 and the rest of the week upper 80's. If I get one won't use the net, just un-hook it at the boat.

You say that now, but just watch, you will catch the same girl who has been haunting you for years now! Good luck!

I sure hope it cools down by the Austin Lake outing on the 28th. Anybody know how fast that lake typically cools down? From what I saw it looked shallow all around.
Should be fine by then. It cools really fast and is generally cooler even during periods of really hot weather than many lakes due to the springs.
