Lake setup - Thermocline - Oswego

[Adk1]

Any update on where you are finding good water temp for Kings out of Oswego? Seems as though some reports in other locations are saying that 100' or so since the lake has been relatively stable lately. Any insight would be appreciated.

After yesterdays west blow you can bet temps pushed way down.....

I heard today that the bite is west of Oswego toward Fairhaven, thermocline down 100 ft. over 250 -300 + fow. Pay attention to wind direction and good luck man !!

I am addicted to the temp profiles on this site!!  Shows upwellings and gives you an almost daily idea of how stable the water is in your area

When looking at water temp profiles in depth (meters) of water and you expand or zoom in close. What are the numbers representing along the thin lines in the graphic.

seems like it starts at 22 & goes to 6 at the deepest blue

[Ecto2]

degrees Celcius maybe??

[Just1skipper2]

thanks Ecto2 I believe that's correct.

Yes Celsius

22 C = 72 F

8 C = 46 F 

 

sorry for my delayed response 

 

it helps you see the cold upwellings and how stratified the water column is   Makes you understand why offshore is typically more stable water as upwelling are on the south and north shore not offshore

Very much the same pattern in Mexico bay  had to get out to 250-300 Fow to find any temps below 70

Thanks for such great information. I'm a novice and don't know what I don't know. Much appreciated to all that responded.

On Lake Ontario look for 42-44 degree water and you will find kings.
