Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | TJ and I will be on the docks at Maynards tomorrow with an Aqua-Vu CZ series in the water, and will show you the temps there about 100 times during the live webcast of the Marathon Man on Minnetonka.
Bluegills will be caught and released. Thousands of 'em. No muskies. Noo.

| Great posts Bob. I agree with you and commend you for canceling your guide trips during this hot weather period. Its just not worth the risk to this already fragile fishery.
I wish all of the other guides and one of your fellow bloggers on the thorne bros website would follow your example and leave the tonka muskies alone for a while too. |

| Bob great post... I agree with you that everyone should use restraint during the heat as it will benefit all of us in the long run. |

| IMO i would say we are not even close to safe water temps... the water is very warm even well below the surface... maybe a few weeks away even if it cools down. |

The lake actually got warmer yesterday w/ those 15 mph winds. Got off the lake an hour ago and it was 83. It's going to take a lot more than a little rain and wind to cool that lake down. |

Location: WI | I got 83 just off of diamond reef and that's an area I would suspect would have some of the coolest water in the lake. |

Location: Maplewood, MN | Thanks for the info. Just asking water temps, not planning on fishing muskies there soon. |

| If you keep your lures cool, keep them in a cooler and rotate them out so only a fresh cold one is cast, the fish tend to respond fine. |
