But the posts before were about water temps .and then not eating .
While they prefer 50-65 degrees they remain in shallower water spread out .
When temps approach 55 they get more concentrated on the fewer deep pieces .
More fish on a spot creates competition, which improves the bite .
Once waters get to low 40’s they still feed but no where near as often .

I see nothing here that I ever disagreed with.. I basically said the same thing. Fish that are concentrated are always easier to catch, even if 70% of them are "asleep"... I'll say it again, in my opinion seldom is a fish species decimated thoughout its range by the other species that are native in their habitat.. Usually there are other "actors" at play, typically human beings that either eat them , poison them, or destroy the places they live... bob
