Here is the water temp info I'm going off of. It's from the UGLOS buoy out of Holland. I'll try to insert the surface water temp graph in this post. You can see the drastic decline in temperature on the graph over the past couple days. Water Temperature at Surface No Datasheet Water Temperature at Surface (WTMP1 ) 53.4 °F Thermistor Temperature, depth: Datasheet Thermistor Temperature, depth: 3.28 ft. (TP001) 51.4 °F Thermistor Temperature, depth: Datasheet Thermistor Temperature, depth: 13.12 ft. (TP003) 50.9 °F Thermistor Temperature, depth: Datasheet Thermistor Temperature, depth: 19.69 ft. (TP005) 50.0 °F Thermistor Temperature, depth: Datasheet Thermistor Temperature, depth: 26.25 ft. (TP007) 48.6 °F Thermistor Temperature, depth: Datasheet Thermistor Temperature, depth: 32.81 ft. (TP009) 45.8 °F Thermistor Temperature, depth: Datasheet Thermistor Temperature, depth: 39.37 ft. (TP0011) 41.9 °F Thermistor Temperature, depth: Datasheet Thermistor Temperature, depth: 45.93 ft.

I've been following along on the reports out of Holland and tracking where the fish are in anticipation of going out this week. Today I look at the Holland buoy and see that the water turned cold all the way to the surface overnight!! I'm just wondering how you all think this will affect the fish? I want to go out tonight and was planning on heading to 90 - 130 FOW but now I'm not sure. I just started big lake fishing last year and have yet to have a great haul. Thanks for any advice/info you have! Josh

Haha! I will try the dome override trick

FYI, some trucks (like mine - 2000 GMC Sierra) do not have the option of turning head lights off at night, the automatic lights take over completely (thanks a ton, GM). I hate it. I've considered installing a manual switch myself.

Great fishin story! Good job
