Water Temps

[croppy1]

I fish pretty simply, and wanted to see if any of you here could recommend a thermometer for water temps. I'd like something simple and basic, and that I could lower and raise to check temps at different depths. I guess a digital with a fairly long wire.

Any good ones out there?

I don't know of any, I just ask other people on the lake. There is usually someone that will tell you.

Hey there Croppy1,

I use an old color-c-lector to tell the temp at different depths.

Wal-Mart in Evansville is selling the Minn-Kota digital temp gauge for 20 bucks. It has a ten foot long cord between the display unit and the thermocouple. You could screw the thermocouple to a 10ft long pole and stick it into the water to a depth of about 10ft or more if you have a long arm.

That's a pretty good idea Moose, Right now I don't even have a temp gauge on my boat. I sure would like to have one that I didn't have to roll back up every time after I used it.

Can't wait until I am able to buy my new graph, probably a Lowrance 102C.

croppy 1;;; I bought a acu-u-rite indoor-outdoor thermometer at walmart for $ 17.00 it gives you the air temp at the water temp plus a clock, It also has a ten foot lead on it but i cut the line about one inch from the end added ten more foot of lead soider it back the use silicone to seal it put a 2oz weight on the end for weight, put a tiny yellow zip tie each foot on it to ten foot then i put a red one to know ten ft depth, then the same the rest of the way down that away you can keep up with exactly how deep it is at that temp
