THIS YEAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SPEND MORE TIME THAN USUAL ON 4 NORTHEAST OHIO LAKES. BERLIN/W BRANCH/MOSQUITO/LAST NIGHT MILTON. THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON BUT DIFFER GREATLY. THE MOST NOTICABLE IS THE LOW WATER LEVELS THAT FALL BRINGS. IT WILL TAKE 3-4 MONTHS FOR WATER TO REACH WINTER POOL ON ALL THE LAKES.(MILTON LAST) THIS MAKES FOR A CHALLENGE TRYING TO FISH DIFFERENT LAKES AT DIFFERENT POOLS BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. THE FIRST BEING BERLIN , SEC. WAS W. BRANCH, THIRD WAS MOSQUITO WHICH IS A FIRST FOR THAT LAKE IN 10 YEARS. LAST NIGHT I FINISHED MY BOATING FOR THE YEAR ON MILTONTO FIND THE SHAD IN THE BAYS WERE BERLIN AND WEST BRANCH THIS OCCURED ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO. CANT WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR! JIG;)

-draw-downs kinda made a different playin' field for sure ... they create a current flow with different fishin' effects dependin' at what level the water is bein' pulled off the lake from ... once you have if figged-out for the lake n' know the flow-rate -ya got it in the bag...

I've found that to be very true for all 4-seasons on my home lake also, with a Big' "BUT";) -- only when the are active n' hungry .. if not n' w/full-bellies, look for the neutral to inactive fish at the "bottom" of the 1st b-line from where they've been a-feedin'... unless mother mother goes in a Tiz' n' re-locates them to elsewhere on the lake...

I HAVE FOUND THIS SPOT ON A COUPLE RES. AND ALSO I HAVE SEEN THAT DIFF. SPIECES WILL MOVE SHALLOW AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR TO FEED. NIGHT FISHING AND WATER LEVELS HAVE GIVEN ME ENOUGH CLUES TO KNOW THAT THE CRAPPIES MAKE THEIR MOVE FIRST.(FALL)YOU SHOULD OF HEARD IT OUT W BRANCH THIS YEAR. EYES GO SECOND. NONE OF THEM WANT TO COMPEET FOR FOOD BUT THE BIG PREDATORS LAY IN WAIT. FIND THE PRAY FIND THE PREDATOR.

IT SEEMS AS IF THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO FISH A LAKE, ONE WITH WEEDS AND ONE WITHOUT. BOTH HAVE THERE +/-, BUT ONE THING THEY HAVE IN COMMON IS HOW LAKE LEVELS AFFECT SURFACE TEMPS. IT PAYS TO KNOW WERE AND WHEN TO FISH,NOT AS MUCH AS HOW YOU FISH. BIGGER/OLDER FISH ARE MORE PRODICTABLE THAN SMALL FISH. ITS SURVIVAL OVER THE YEARS HAS MADE HIM VOLNERABLE! THIS IS WHY HE IS SO SPOOKY. WHEN FISH ARE SHALLOW PRESENTATION IS KEY!;)
