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.

...thay all look about the same... which unit do you have?... if you have DSI (Down Scan Imaging) that mode would show up the best.
