Taking the day off tomorrow to do some walleye fishing with my wife. She
has never fished for walleye so this should be interesting. ;-)

It is supposed to be in the upper 80's and although the water is only mid
50's we may end up jumping in to cool off.

Yep........and there will probably be some serious shrinkage afterwards!

'Only' mid '50's? Must be nice. Try jumping into Puget Sound sometime
for a real "shrinking" (ahem...) feeling

Friends of ours had the same idea as we met up at the marina at about the
same time. Seeing they have a larger boat and one more suited for fishing
(26' Lyman) we went out together on theirs. Lake was flat and dead calm
winds so we could not drift for walleye (luckily we purchased worms *and*
shiners) so we found a spot where the perch were and perched for a couple of
hours.........netted 4 3/4 pounds of nice butterfly yellow perch fillets.

After fishing we headed to our favorite swimming spot (anchoring in 2 1/2
feet of water at the transom) and gingerly made our way into the
water...........very cold but comfortably numb after 2 minutes. Definitely
refreshing after the heat and sun during fishing. Shrinkage factor was at
maximum level.

All in all...........a very good day. ;-)

I was going to say, but I didn't want to preach about swimming in 50
degree water but your arms and legs can go limp in a matter of minutes
in water like that. Not to mention the shrinkage which in water like
than can cause full on nut crunch..

Personally, I don't see why you looked! Of course maybe we are lucky
you are not Harry, or we may have been subjected to pictures! Yikes!

Jim probably realizes you're a literary kind of guy.

LMAO. I looked at my log..........May 24, water temp 57F. We spent part of
the day fishing following by some time *cooling off* in the water.

I don't know anyone in the habit of checking it to see the shrinkage
factor........I just refer to this chart:
