Question on Impact of wind on down temps and fishing

[relaxer]

First time coming up in July as normally a spring (April/May) visitor.  I have been reading a lot of comments and reports from guys trying to learn a few thing before I head up with my boys for 9 days. Trying to learn without having to ask guys where they are catching while I am there.  Have a couple questions someone might be able to provide good knowledge on:

 

1) East wind 10kt or less 12-24 hours - My assumption would be temps that might have been good in 130-150 might move out to 175-200 or more depending on how long it was east wind. So I could start in the same 130' and work north into deeper water.   Does 10kt have much of an impact on down temps?  Or is my assumption fair? Or do I need a different approach.

 

2) East wind 15-20kt for 12-24 hours - My assumption based on reading threads is those good temps would slide out to 300' or more and the fish could possibly be up higher in water column 30-60 feet instead of down 80-120 if inshore.  So higher junk lines would come into play.

 

3) West winds generally keep the fish down and inshore waters unless a hard blow?

 

Any advice is appreciated.  I know most would have no problem sharing info at the dock but I do hate asking where the fish are.

I assume you are fishing lake Ontario. If so, look at this site, find out how deep you need to go to get in some 42 to 44F water. Set hooks anywhere from 42F to 52F.

Yes, I'll be fishing out of the Oak early to mid-July.  Thank you...this link is great and will help give me some basic starting points to work from when I am there.

 

Appreciate the pointer to the website.
