Any opinions on how this weather will affect the fishing?

[Covey]

Just wondering what your opinions are on how this humid weather is going to affect the fishing this weekend?

I don't expect humidity to be a factor at all. The high temps on the other hand will have raised the water temps so that could affect things a bit.

Dew point is about to go from low to mid 80's into the 60's within the next couple days. This will make life a bit more comfortable out there as its the dew point that causes the humidity. I looked back at our weather here in the west metro over past several days and aside from some spotty storms and varying wind direction, we've had fairly consistant weather. That should make fishing conditions favorable as there has been no crazy low pressure systems around this area for about a week.

The big lakes like Mille Lacs usually have a major bait fish die off

with weather like this. It can make for some great fall and winter

fishing.

Why do they have big die offs of bait fish? Water temp in the shallows too high? Wave action too much? That's all I could come up with.

water temp in the shallows would be my guess too.

Baitfish like cisco need cool water to survive. When they cant find water anywhere in the lake that is both cool enough and has enough O2 in it they die.

We'll have walkable ice by December 2nd!

humidity does nothing to affect fishing negatively. it's 1000% humid underwater! the high temps; however, will make the bite tough.

Really, the humidity is only 100% under water, just sayin

Just like on my deck this week!!!

Oxygen depletion is higher in warmer water, very hard to keep bait in hot

weather.

I've been out in the west metro quite a bit the past few days and the bite has been pretty outstanding most of the time. No complaints from me (well, except for the biting flies that won't leave my feet and ankles alone)!

Actually I don't think that is technically correct either. Humidity is a measure of water vapor and not liquid water. Under water humidity would therefore be very near 0% if I'm not mistaken.
