Thermometer

[Stephen Whyte]

They exist but maybe not specifically as a fishing item, in that you just point it at certain things and it will give a temperture reading. Here's one... http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/infrared-thermometer-with-laser-targeting-n92fx

That looks like the thing i heard about and i do remember thinking how would you be able to gauge the temp, if the water was 4ft deep for example. Anyway, i'm just pleased that i didn't imagine it, getting on a bit now according to Mrs W.

Thanks

I did actually order one of these cheap chinese thermometers,more of an experiment really to see if they could deliver it for the princely total of 99p to the UK.
To my surprise it arrived safely this morning after 18 days,well packed and in working order.It's a cheap plastic type thing and the only way to switch it off is to remove the 2 little hearing aid type batteries from the back but it does have 2m of cable and seems accurate.
I've compared it to the floating analogue thermometer in my pond and it's reading exactly the same.
How they can send an item from China for 99p including postage is beyond me and when the batteries go it's simply not worth changing them,just order another one.

mine came this morning after about 32 days. agrees with my house thermostat and between my palms went to about 36

so i'm impressed .... for 99p
