[QUOTE="Droberts, post: 1717026, member: 13839"] has anyone had any luck fishing lake arcadia in winter? i've tried several different spots all with good fish sign on the finder over the last 2 months but have yet to get a single hit. i've fished bottom mid & upper mid in the 35-40 foot sections pretty heavily as they seem to have the most concentrations of fish on the sonar, mostly up & down the dam but also in the middle of the lake near the indoor fishing dock where its about 25ft. baits so far: live shad dead shad cut shad chicken liver chicken hearts/gizzards dipped in liver sauce worms temps so far: 40-48F, most of the time its around 46F. I've also fished the southern cove pretty heavily one night with no success. when the water is about 43-50 they're pretty active, coming up & spreading out all over the place. i think the coldest i've seen the water temp was 38, damn near every fish in the lake was clustered up over by the damn in that 40ft spot. fish ball was so dense the fish finder said it was 25ft deep, dropped anchor right in the middle of it & they'd all scatter then come right back in. put bait down right in the middle of em for a few hours without a bite. seen some pretty big solid grey(not bait schools) monsters on the finder roaming around every once in a while. saw several cats feeding on the bottom on wed. this is my first winter fishing arcadia from a boat and i gotta say its been kinda disappointing. 90% of all my fishing has been late evenings. might change things up & go for bass if i cant nail down winter catfishin from this lake. cant find any good ledges or channels anywhere. i'd appreciate any suggestions from those that have been fishing arcadia longer than i have. never had this much trouble with winter cats in my life.
