Caught 6 today, no big ones, lost 2 more at the boat. Got a late start and caught them all throughout the day. The last two came on two successive casts right before I quit.
Also hooked 3 stripers. The first one was really big. Gave me two head shakes, took off for deeper water, and I figure a gill plate cut my line. I couldn't budge it. Put a 19" and a 25" in the freezer.
Louie was out also, said he caught 4. The first two were small, don't know about the last two.
Lou was reading water temps between 48 and 51. I was reading between 51 and 54. Don't know who's sensor is off.

You were down there Monday after 3 days of cold rain, surface temps drop quickly in those circumstances.
Temps by Saturday after a few days of Sun will be back in the 56-59 range.
I wasn't real surprised. We'll see what the temps are tomorrow after a couple of sunny warmer days.

Off the weather buoy at the mouth of the Susquehanna today the temp was 57 - 58.8.
Wow, that was quick. Flowing water sometimes warms quicker, but I bet it wouldn't be off by more than a degree or two.
Water temp today was 58.5, about where it should be.
Yep. Were you out? Eli and I were. Slow day, but a few fish. None big.

No, have not been out for a few weeks. Water temps off the buoys.
