FISHING THE THERMOCLINE

Hey BBG… I wanted to highlight a big fish pattern that’s been recognized for years but is rarely talked about or discussed in the fishing circles. It is fishing the THERMOCLINE. I was wondering how other members use the Thermocline in their strategies come summer periods or even if it is a consideration.

Very rarely are articles ever written covering the fishing the THERMOCLINE… Corey Schmidt writer, posted an article in IN_FISHERMAN magazine last summer explicitly covering the topic… a must read… (first post below)… a necessary method in any fisherman’s arsenal.
