Re: When the bait hits the water and DIES!
Why wouldn't that reservoir have a thermo cline , which is nothing more then a temp,separation zone
Lack of oxygen killed those herring due to the fact warm water doesn't hold much oxygen !
If you drop the herring into 50-60'degrees water no issue ! The bottom level of thermocline also is drained of oxygen unless lake is very clear and sun can penetrate !
Game fish live in the thermocline due to temps n oxygen ! They do however chase bait outside this range .
Herring will come into different levels at night , my buddy and I,fish a local,lake and get Stripers n Hybrids in shallows at night , they're on herring !
These can range in size to 30# stripes and teen size hybrids !
We caught one last nite in 70 degree water with herring all around ! We do,top water only !
It's winding down for this season due to water temps shallow but if u get a cool nite , rain etc they do come back shallow .
This was a strange year for herring very small sizes and we did not get a fish over 20# ! Big herring runs we always get fish up to over 20#'s every season !
