[QUOTE=Grumpy;495243]Airnet, you are right about ONE WAY to find the thermocline but apparently you didn't really read my first post in this thread. I was trying to help out a fellow that said his fishfinder was old and did not show the thermocline. By going to the COE site for a particular lake, before you go fishing, you can get a good idea where the thermoline is without having to fool with the electronics. You are also right about fish bunching up at and just above the thermocline. The last article I cited says that also:

"In a stratified lake, fish will typically not venture very far below the thermocline, except for brief forays in search of food or other meanderings. They will, however, often hold right at or just above the thermocline. This is why knowing whether or not a lake develops a thermocline and if so, at what depth, is so vitally important to fishing. If an angler is fishing on a stratified lake and putting all their effort at depths below the thermocline, the results will generally not be very pleasing. . . .
Another way to locate the thermocline with electronics is simply by cruising around and paying close attention to the depth at which the fish are marked on the display. If you motor around and see lots of fish congregated at and above 22 feet and see virtually nothing below that depth, it’s reasonable to assume there might be a thermocline at that depth."


Grumpy,,Yes Sir,,,,i did read your first post and was only trying to give some help on how i find the thermocline using electronics,,,some people dont know how to find the thermocline on there graphs,,,so I was only giving my input and trying to help someone out,,,isnt that what we're all here for?,,also,,,I always read your post,,,your a wise man,,thank you for your input,,,,
