Frequently asked questions
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
How frequently are the water temps updated?
Our thermal data, sourced from multiple providers, offers varying update frequencies to ensure accurate and timely information. Typically, the information refreshes every 1-5 days, contingent on satellite passes and factors like cloud cover. When examining your lake's thermal map, you can easily access the collection date for the most up-to-date and reliable data to enhance your fishing experience.
How is this information collected?
We gather infrared readings of surface water from satellite-based sources and compile them to create a precise heatmap layer for each lake, providing valuable insights for many uses.
How far back does the information go?
Monthly historic average water temperatures can be accessed, with data extending as far back as 2018, offering valuable insights for your fishing plans.
How accurate is the water temperature?
Our findings indicate that there is a close correlation between transducer readings and the data displayed in our heatmaps. While the data may not be an exact match, it is highly effective in helping you determine relatively warm and cool areas of the lake, which can guide your fishing strategy.

How can anglers leverage LakeMonster's current lake conditions data?
LakeMonster's PRO data offers invaluable insights that anglers can use to make informed decisions while out on the water. By leveraging our real-time lake conditions information, you can elevate your fishing strategy and increase your chances of success. One key application of our data is using Water Temperature readings to locate prime fishing spots. During the spring spawning season, you can identify warming areas of the lake where fish are likely to congregate. Conversely, in the heat of summer, our data can help you pinpoint cool underwater springs where fish seek refuge from the warm surface waters. Additionally, you can use our current water condition information to select the most favorable lakes for your fishing outings. Water Clarity estimates provided by LakeMonster can also guide your bait selection. By understanding the clarity of the water, you can choose lure colors that will be most visible and attractive to fish in those conditions. This knowledge can give you a significant advantage over anglers who are not privy to such data. Moreover, LakeMonster's weather data is crucial for ensuring a safe and enjoyable fishing trip. By monitoring current wind readings, you can identify the best launching points on a given waterbody, minimizing the impact of wind on your fishing experience. Our comprehensive weather information empowers you to make well-informed decisions regarding your time on the lake. With LakeMonster's PRO data at your fingertips, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to adapt your fishing strategy to the ever-changing conditions of your favorite lakes. Elevate your angling game and unlock the full potential of your fishing experiences with LakeMonster.
