stripermania I fished it last night and I think the water temp got down to 45 degrees, very chilly!

Are the temperature changes of the water normal? They sound extreme but I have nothing to base that on.

Today it registered 53, so maybe we are finally on a warming trend.

Yes but today it went from 51 to 59 degrees. 9 degrees in one day is definitely going to heat the mud flats up. Get ready boys
