Have You Considered Water Temperature While Fishing?
Fish are known to be sensitive to even a 1°C change in water temperature, which can trigger significant behavioral changes.
Each type of fish has its preferred water temperature, and their habitat varies accordingly.
Knowing the appropriate water temperature for baitfish and other factors can further increase your chances of success in fishing.
With a water temperature gauge, you can determine the optimal temperature for your target fish’s activity and
adjust your actions and bait accordingly, leading to better results.
In particular, a non-contact radiation thermometer allows you to measure water temperature without submerging the thermometer,
maintaining a certain distance. It also offers the advantage of rapid measurement, providing results in approximately one second.
However, there are two important points to note when measuring water temperature with a radiation thermometer.
1.Measuring surface temperature:
It is important to keep in mind that the radiation thermometer measures the surface temperature of the water.
(Reference: Measuring Temperature of Water and Glass through Infrared Thermometers ）
2. Another point to consider is that as the distance increases, the measurement range becomes wider, making it more prone to errors.
（Reference： The relationship between the distance & measurement range (D:S) ）
The measurement results should be considered as a reference.
To obtain a more accurate temperature reading, it is recommended to perform measurements at a closer distance
and take multiple readings to calculate an average.
