don"t look any differnt than what we have now 70 on top , or or am i missing something ?

[FISHINMAN]

Motoman I believe it's the yellow/green in the middle he's talking about.

[LongLine]

The cold water has been pushed against the northern shore, Coburg, Pt Hope & west areas (greens& yellows)with the entire south shore having warm water (oranges, reds). This map is predicting some cold water “springing upâ€

Good explaination Tom. Thanks, it's nice to know how it compares to last year. Glad you're keeping track of it. Let's see what Aug. brings as far as fish caught compared to last year. Keep your fingers crossed.

[motoman]

ok i am with ya now maybe that green will spring up more , so who is making the run out too test the waters infront of sandy lol should be some fish there would be my guess !

[ray koziatek]

very interesting but i too think your full of crap.

[CBish]

I agree with ray, I think that this forecast is not plausible, forecasted wind direction and strength is not right for this to happen. Perhaps it is a history forecast rather than a conditions forecast.

Ray,

Did you know that there is a ridge off the NW corner of the Pt. Breeze breakwall where the bottom comes up 30-40 then back down again (in 500 FOW) this ridge cause bottom currents to push upward and becomes a structure magnet for the food chain. There was another 30+ king there today that succumbed to a MS Carbon -14. You need a chart or good chip in your gps plotter to find it. OR you can just look for the shine off my bald head!!

just funning long-guy in my usual smartars way ,but im looking into that ridge thing

That's not the actual water temps, it's a forecast. Today is August 3rd and that is for August 4th. Here's what the actual water temps are like:

Much warmer than what's forecast, although you can see the beginnings of the water movement. Like CBish said, that may be a historical forecast. Save yourself the long ride out to find that colder water off Sandy...it's not there....yet.

[muskybob]

Dang, looks like the north shore boys ought to be banging the snot out of them. :shock:

[LongLine]

Billy V – Yes it is a forecast. (as I stated & the map is dated 8/4) However you can see on the 6:00AM nowcast that you posted, there is a cooler water surface plume forming in that area and moving southward. (run the nowcast backwards i.e. 00, -03, -06, etc) Unfortunately, cold water shouldn’t hit the surface till we’re all back at work- Mond, Tues, Wed. :evil: Keep your fingers crossed by next weekend that we’ll have some cooler water on our shore.

Ray – Don’t worry, I know you funning. Here’s the bathymetry of the area. Interesting structure to the S/SE/SW of it. It's very hard to find on the typical NOAA navigation charts. It's also interesting to see what the guys reporting on "attheoak" are fishing over when they're out at the 28, 29, 30 lines.

Tom,

Just trying to clarify. Sounded to me like some guys thought that was the actual water temps.

[motoman]

i dose seem too be turning, slow but turning , looks like the Canadian water is doing well from the post of thrill seekers on there Tightline Shootout end of day pics.
