bfishn Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Water is at its' densest (heaviest) at 39 degrees F. That's why ice floats. I can't dance like I used to.
Ed Franko Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Water is at its' densest (heaviest) at 39 degrees F. That's why ice floats. Sounds good to me. I really have no idea I was just stating what I heard and what you say makes sense to me.
laker67 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I always had trouble catching fish with all that ice floating around in the lake. It aint quite freezin here on the upper end as of today.
fishinwrench Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 When you start trying to inject science and reasoning into fish movements, and their resultant activity level.....you're asking for trouble. I'm not sure which bodys of water across the country have fish that adhere to the rules of things like "thermocline, PH, temperature avoidance levels" and so forth, but wherever those lakes/rivers are I've for sure never been there. Going in totally ignorant it takes me about 2 1/2 - 3 days of hard fishing to put together a workable pattern that is even remotely reliable, and it never fails to defy the logic I've taken in by studying the "science" of fishing.
laker67 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Roland Martin is a master of the ph meter and predicting the thermal incline. I have watched him take all them samples, and then throw a big ole shiner in amongst a bunch of lilly pads. PRetty soon he comes out of there with a big ole bass. Works every time. You should watch that show more often there FW.

I think you're half right. Reasoning is futile, but science is vital. Your 3 day example is a perfect application of science, making observations and modifying your behaviour to suit. Multiply your personal observations by a few orders of magnitude, record it, organize it, hypothesize and publish, and you get fancy science. :-) I can't dance like I used to.
