garbage weather.. i thought we lived in michigan not F'ing florida.. Be nice to fish more than 2 months this whole season

well if anyone goes to any other SW lakes, post temps. Interested to hear whats what since most havent fished them in almost 1.5 months

Bankson was 85 monday afternoon. Went out to check temp and do a little bass fishing. HAsn't stopped most people from fishing it or Long Lake. Two weeks ago I bass fished Bankson and there was about 6 musky boats out there and it was 86. Both those lakes have been getting pounded still for the last month. I might go check it again tonight because I'll be out that way.

I just hope most of the guys aren't good enough to catch many/any fish so there isn't much harm done.

Austin I would think would be fishable for sure in another day or two. I wouldn't know because I have no use for that lake anymore and haven't fished it since March and don't really ever plan to go back. I used to like to fish West but I no longer have a boat that fits through the tunnel.

What about putting signs at some of the boat launches warning about fishing for muskies in water > 80 degrees. Maybe something that could go right with or on the know the difference signs. I know people don't like being preached to but I feel like most of the casual muskie fisherman fishing in the summer just have no idea that the fish have greater chance of dying. Has this ever been discussed in the club?

Also with the regulation changes coming are we going to have new know the difference signs made/put up? If we do maybe put something on it about fishing in hot water? Just a thought.

I was out today on a lake similar to Murray. Water temps 77-78 so it's starting to cool down some. Even though there's a mid week warmup, next weekend is supposed to be cool. I expect to be back on Murray before the end of August.

Seen temps on LSC up until this cool down anywhere from 78-81 in main lake areas and bays. Channels were 75-77 but seen them cool down to 72 now.

Seeing some low 70s here bout flippin time…
