I agree Sal. It makes sense that with temperature variations the denseness of water will vary. Water is at it's densest at 39.2 degrees F. Above and below that it becomes less dense. I have often thought that early and late in the year the water acts differently than in the warmer part of the season. I think that it shows up the most while fishing. Subsurface lures sink slower and there is more resistance on retrieval. I also have thought many times that the water does appear to be more "syrupy". I guess it could be the hypothermia though.
