With all the information on this forum concerning water temps and what fish are doing. What is the best way to determine water temps? And then is it surface temperature, several feet deep, or at the level the fish are at?
So do we go by what the fish finder says or do we bring a thermometer to dangle in the water?

If I ever get really serious about Lake Trout I will definitely be using a water temp device which measures water temps at 5' intervals. It would be good to know where that 55 degree water is and focus my efforts there during August especially on and near bottom since big Lakers tend to be bottom orientated when in a neutral or negative mood. At least that is what I have heard.......I'm no laker expert thats for sure.
A guy might be able to make the same argument with northern, particularly the larger specimens.

Surface temps is what your sonar is reading. It is most important in the Spring when the surface is warmer and all of the food chain is seeking the warmth. A good sonar can also detect the thermocline, which is where cisco, LT and some larger eyes and northern will hang in the Summer.
