Thread: Thermocline ?

Billy, you been sniffin jet fuel again?

Ok here it is word for word.

pH Level:Fisherman are aware of thermoclines-horizontal planes with sudden changes in water temperature.There is another type of barrier important to crappie anglers.The pH level affects a fish's ability to absorb oxygen.Fish will be at or above the opitimum pH level.For example,an optimum pH level at 10',indicates that active crappie will be above 10' whether the total water depths is 11' or 30'.How do u find the optimum pH level? With a pH meter and probe there are several products on the market they will indicate the pH levels of the water at different levels.

Back in the day Bill Dance did a couple of shows on Ph levels and bass fishing. Was pretty interesting stuff and made a lot of sense at the time. Have a Ph meter some where and one of the old color selector with Ph and temp in it. I am to A D D to fiddle with that stuff to much. Keep telling myself to put meter in boat and try it just to see how it would work with crappie. I know it helped me at times with colors green carp fishing. I know one thing you ain't gonna catch anything below the thermocline.

This is true. First time I ran into it, I thought the sonar was messed up. Spent a second day fishing too deep. Figured out on the 3rd day that the "interference" was from a thermocline. Ran cranks just above the thermocline and it was on like donkey kong.

Here's one on eBay. If you see this in time to bid. Link>Color Combo C Lector With PH Balance Selector | eBay
