The water temperature at Martin is relatively cool compared to Augusts in the past. 87 or so, getting up to 90 later in the day. (Surface)
As for the bluebacks, I hope these condtions wipe them out. They feed heavily on eggs and fry and it's not clear whether they add a significant weight gain to stripers, spots, or largemouth.
The bluebacks will have a negative effect on crappies, bluegill, and shellcracker just by adding another predator to their environment.
