Fish migrate just like ducks and other species. I think daylight hours contribute most to migration. More daylight hours means more temperature and vice versa. Forage is the other main factor. The area I fish between Wheatley and Erieau in July and August is deep and holds so much life when the rest of the lake can't and I think the majority of it is tempetature related. Take a look at this chart http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/...t&type=N&hr=15 Note the two charts. One is bottom temp. Still nice and cool down deep. That will keep the fish and bait around for a while. I think we are 2 weeks away from seeing the lake turn over. This June should shape up for stellar fishing in the Western basin. Question for Walidave- What is the average size of the fish you are catching? I am guessing the average is 24" or so. Everything I have caught is fat and healthy. Many heavy coolers will hit the dock this summer.
