Structure Fishing and Thermocline
Ive been fishing a little over a year now and have done well as a bank beater, but now Im trying to expand my horizons fishing more structure further off the bank
My question relates to the thermocline and deep water access for fish. In my researching of the topic, I understand what the thermocline is and that fish will stay at or above it. What I havent quite got yet is with a shallower thermocline, will fish still prefer spots that have access to deeper water, even if it dips below the thermocline?
The lake I fish has a thermocline at roughly 10-15 ft right now, so obviously Ill target that depth and a little shallower. Just wondering if finding points and humps surrounded by much deeper water would be preferable.
