anyone know how to find depth temps?

I used to use, and still have, a Depth O Plug that gives you the temp and depth in one shot. It was invaluable when I started fishing Lakers as it gave me a good depth to troll at . Specially in the heat of summer.

I"d bet surface temps will be right around the right temp then. Your graph will tell you that. If not, it will only be a few feet down to find the colder water. That time of year, fish are looking for warmer water.....where in summer, they're looking for colder water. Your thinking backwards. If you have a portable graph that tells temp, sometimes you can just drop the transducer down a few feet and see the change in temp.

 

The north shore of a lake gets the most sun, therefore warms up earlier than the south shore, which is shaded.

 

As well as the north part of the lake getting the most sun it is mostly sheltered from cold prevailing NW winds .

Also lake trout will eat anything so in the spring just after ice out they will be cruising around these warm bays picking

off everything from sunfish to leaches . They have a big appetite in the spring .

Right here. Flatlining all over this entire area was very productive.

 

(For those that don't know this is a fly in lake )
