Jimmy: Thanks for the tips.. Yeah, the surface temp is down to 54 degrees.. it
was in the 80's just a little over a month ago, so I guess that quick change is
a shock to the fish...The one place i didn't go is to the main channel where
the creek was before they dammed this place up.. I'll check there and try that
NW shore, Thanks, Chuck

Chuck, have you tried looking in the creeks and creek channels at the bottom
of your lake. Also, how cold has it been lately? Several days in a row of
terribly cold weather will drive them deep. On Lake Waco, in Jan - feb, I find
them in 20 - 30 feet of water. You spoke of the thermocline. If your
lake/pond has turned over anytime recently, there will be that distinctive
smell of rotten leaves. This in itself unsettles the fish. Just because you
don't see'em on your fish finder doesn't mean they're not there. If you have a
lot of dead trees and laydowns on your lake, the fish will gather in and under
them in really cold water. One last thing, try fishing the NW shore around 2
p.m. in the afternoon. The lake will be warmer there, because of longer
exposure to the sun.
