Air temps don't mean a lot. Think early season when water temps might only be in the 60s. If we have a hot day where air temps climb into the 90s, this isn't going to make water temps suddenly sky rocket into the 80s. When you get that first string of hot days in the summer, if it does cause surface temps to climb drastically, temps down a few feet are going to be cooler than they would be at that same depth after a prolonged period of warm/hot weather.

The point being, air temps aren't what hurts the fish (unless you are taking the fish out of the water for any length of time). Even when talking water releases, it's the warm water and the effects that this has on the fish that can stress out a fish and create delayed mortality, not air temps.

re read the post about the 53, Sorry mis-read it and agree== dead fish anyhow. About the stocking on Miltona. The part thats the real killer-- The DNR tried to comprimize with that group and said if we cut stocking will you be satisified, they said yes, stocking was cut to 800 and the next 6 years they still tried their scare tacticts. DNR should have gone right back to stocking what they wanted. Now The DNR is checking test net numbers to see if the population is where they want it and will adjust from there. I have not been on any lake for a couple weeks but am asuming that temps may have gone down some the last few days with the cloudy and cool weather. Anybody have any lake temps that are current??

Crop,

To answer your original question without all the preaching junk We were out on Miltona Sunday morning for what I thought was gonna be an awesome day given the weather conditions. Raised a 45" plus fish on a DCG and that was it. I dont know what it is but its been a wierd year. Is it really short feeding windows?? more pressure??? anyone got any guesses?

Short fights + water release= A musky to fight another day

By the way the water temp. was around 75 on Sunday
