Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 76.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.3 °F).
