Neat Water Temp Comparison Chart

[Ben Gillispie]

Just thought it was neat to see two sensors' data from the same time period. While they generally follow the same trend, naturally, they do differ. Cricket Creek being where it is and Indian Point being on the Main Lake over deep water. 

Kinda neat, thought I'd share.

Interesting how similar yet situated differently

Very cool, thanks

this really reflects water volume, and water clarity.

thanks for sharing.

Great stuff as always Ben!

Thank you!

I think you're right, Bo...

Big Lake vs. small Creek Arm, Clear Water vs. Stained Water

The things I saw are the times when Cricket Creek would spike, Indian Point would fester for a few more days, remain more static, before being affected. Must be due to the volume of water and it not being warmed as significantly by the sun due to less stuff in the water. 

I might just complile the last 18 months of data a write a book on this stuff

The more I study all the data I've compiled the more interesting it is...Table Rock is an ideal specimen to study this stuff. I know I've got some units down - money is just tight lately. However, units like Indian Point and Cricket Creek have been reporting every 15 minutes since Easter of last year. They haven't skipped a beat. I've got all of it archived. 

Alhonna Resort on LOZ has been equally as reliable. 

I've been brewing up an idea to be able to utilize this data better - an online fishing journal where one would input notes and the application would automatically append the current water temperature, lake level, generation, air temperature, wind, pressure, etc. so that all a guy would have to do is input a note and it does the rest. It'd be a 'smart' fishing diary. 

Anyone got $40,000?...ha.

I like the idea.  Try hooking up with Bassinbob.  He already has the subscription service going.  Maybe you both could work on a southwest area bassinbob or offer a premium subscription with your data added to that service.  

I would actually pay for that.  I don't want to pay for reports from people who are not always truthful about fishing anyway, but if you add unbiased science into the mix that could actually help someone who doesn't live near the lake to start patterning fish before I even leave the house.  I am in.

Glad someone said it! Thanks for the input.

i think you are learning some valuable info about water temps in the lake and how water movement and volume changes water temps.  i think you also discover to not put too much emphasis on surface temps when it comes to bass spawning.  pay attention to how the changes affect changes in the whereabouts of not only the bass, but the food chain.  bass are going to where the food is.  i have no doubt this will help anyone's fish catching.
