    Default Next Phase of Winter Pattern


    I've spent about the last month (since Thanksgiving) through Christmas Eve fishing Atkins. Water temps during that time have hovered somewhere in the 50's and fishing has been pretty consistent around Lucky Landing. Haven't been on it since the flooding rains came but got a report from a friend that went Thursday morning. He zeroed and said water temps had dropped to around 48*. Curious if his lack of success had more to do with high water and water clarity or if we should start hunting a different part of the lake due to water temps. On lakes such as Atkins, where should the fish be holding or moving to now with temps sub 50*. I had been catching them 10-13 fow in the cove and thought that pattern would hold. Do they now move out from the coves and hold more in the main lake ?

    Look major cold front , they get kinda shut mouthed for a day or two after it passes many times . Look tight to cover or on the bottom with these Bluebird skies .

    I get what you're saying, and I'm grateful for every opportunity. I still prefer to go armed with knowledge... I'm equally grateful for the catch !
