How do you go about locating a lakes thermocline, especially in deep water???
That's what I do. I can even see my bait on the one I have, so I know exactly how deep it's running.You can set sensitivity levels correctly and see it on most quality fish finders.
I finally got my jugs rigged and ready for this weekend, and will be jug fishing from Saturday morning till Monday afternoon...
Some of the old timers said to troll around the lake where I will be fishing, and to get an average depth of where the fish are at, looking at the fish finder. They said that the fish were over deep holes, but their fish finders showed that the vast majority of fish were at 23 to 27 feet. They said to bait up at 25 feet, and that would be in the "feeding zone". Would you guys consider this to be wise thinking or not?
I haven't been on the lake enough with my new fish finder, and I am still learning it. It does show beautiful structure, depth and exact fish location, and it very easily tracks a crank bait back to the boat. I'm thinking that I can get an average depth of the fish in the area where I will be jugging, and start with that. How much above and below do you think I can go, and still stay in the strike zone?
