[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4955301, member: 2805"] My friend and I went fishing a 20ac private club lake Saturday morning.... 48 degrees, water temp was 70 degrees. This lake does not have steep dropoffs, just a gradual drop down to the dam which is 13 ft. There is structure off a point in 7 to 8 ft of water, and we have caught crappie there previously. I was expecting the fish to move to the end of the submerged point where it drops to 9 to 10 ft (again, gradual drop, no old creek channels), but we actually found the most fish in 6ft of water hugging the bottom... and very few on actual structure. I'm not complaining, we came home with 26 nice sized fish, and the other 2 boats on the lake around us didn't catch anything (we were fishing with live minnows, and they were trolling jigs and crankbaits that weren't getting deep enough)... but I can't for the life of me figure out why they were up more shallow with the abrupt cold front... perhaps were enjoying the cooler water temps? But why were they on bottom then?[img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201019/1d605aa472111b0aace8a77d8096bf84.jpg[/img] Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
