Location: Rhinelander | I was off Port Washington a few days ago on The Pirate Charter and the tems were in the 50's almost in the harbor because of the offshore winds. Salmon fishing was great! |

Location: Forest Lake, MN | No Message???? some of the maps are interesting to see the range of temperatures that cover the big lakes. There was also http://www.coastwatch.msu.edu/index.html I couldn't figure out why so much was blacked out today till I read the instructions better, cloud cover kept the sensors from seeing the surface. The west end of Superior was wild.

I've been both monetoring and sometimes coordinating (for the past few years) my fishing trips in certain section of the Saginaw Bay because of, and with the help of, these posted surface temps. Many types of the fishing I do, (River or Bay) the techniques I use, and the cycles the fish get into, are actually keyed because of the temps reached to a certain degree. So I keep two different links to these sites on my buddies list, so I can quickly access them and get an instant temp read out. They are for the most part very helpful to me during the colder months, when it seems the walleyes search out the warmer areas for the abundance of baitfish that school there for their own feeding needs.
And I was going to post a link to a recent article about Saginaw Bays High water temps this year, and it's relationship of that to the high Blue/Green algae bloom taking place this season, which in turn can cause a weird toxic liver desease to swimmers if accidentally ingested. I attached this link to my post, tried accessing it, but the article had since expired and the link became bogas, and it seems you cannot delete the whole message once you posted it here, so NO Message.  
Ya see...everything I do has a logical reason, no matter how stupid.

Location: Forest Lake, MN | Ah yes, tried that too the other day on a different site to find out it wouldn't forgive my transgression. I'm not in a position I'll likely ever fish any of the big lakes but figured I might as well pass on "good" information. Hope I haven't just duplicated your work some where. I would have like to seen this on a lake around here as Mille Lac's or one of the lakes in the Dakotas, such as Oahe or Sakakawea.
I use to listen and process, at home, data off earlier versions of the sat they're using and even had some very interesting data off the Russian weather satilites as they went over coastal areas. One Meteor sat run went over Chesapeake Bay and it was awesome how it could pick up one degree differences in the surface temps. You could follow a plume of a river flowing into the bay. Now looking at this new Landsat, it looks like it can detect down to a tenth of a degree difference.
The main reason this caught my attention is I've been playing with the idea of setting up to recieve the signals again while I was out in the boondocks mapping a lake. Its fun seeing real time weather displays. It's fairly easy with todays desktop computers and laptops, all you really have to buy is a radio capable of recieving that frequency, and build a small antenna. The only draw back is they ( 3 or 4 sats ) are in an orbit that follows the sun rise and set, so you only see them in the morning and evening. You can see that in the times on those maps from the sites above.
