I've been using cheap pool thermometers for many years. seal them up
with rtv . drill a hole near top for quick draining.
to use attach to cannon ball or end or rigger cable swivel.
Lower down. wait about 10-15 minutes and bring up quickly[manual rigger works best]
read temp. If temp too warm dump water out and try deeper.
Also can used to check temp at depth fish marks are appearing to help determine type of fish being marked. My son has a clip on fish hawk that I like too but they cost upward of $100.

Hey Ryan its a Brown trout.
Browns= spots below latera line
square tail
Atlantic spots-[x's] only above lateral line
Slighty forked tail
mouth usually black-dark inside
Mouth does not extend beyond the eye.
I caught an atlantic out of rockport-lake huron tonight and it was checked by dnr
fish checker.

Hey the walleye guys from sag nasty bay claim the mesquito thermocells work well. also of a report of burning mesquito coils as a workable economical alternative. It seems like worth a try.:thumb:

Whats a SWR?
Why not run standard rigger line with a inline weight like the walleye fishermen do.
After the in line weight put a fluorocarbon lead to the lure set up.
Amount of inline weight plus number of feet behind ball determines how far away from
the ball and how much deeper you run.
We had to go to this type of set up due to the clear water in lake huron several years ago.When we fist started to do this we used a 3-way swivel and drop sinker to get closer to bottom when trolling structure.Found it worked when the the fish were suspended in the top 50' or so as well. You can run sliders but really have to get to the pole quick for slider bites. Stackers can cause problems with tangles. Have been playing around with the smallest dippsy's set off to the side inplace of the inline weight when running stackers.
Not much experiance to report on this set up todate
