[url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url][#0000ff]Hey Hustleman, thanks for the TubeDude to English translation. Gotta admit I sometimes get a mite verbose.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]An even simpler statement would be "Ya cain't ketch 'em where they ain't." That applies to all areas of a lake...shallow to deep. If the food ain't there, or the water conditions ain't to the fishes' liking, they will go somewhere else.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It is amazing, though, how inhospitable it can become in the deep zones of some lakes. With no currents to stir the depths, and with the accumulated pollutants of decay (from stuff that sinks to the bottom), the lower layers of water in some deep lakes is actually toxic to fish. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]So, even depth-loving species like macks are not always in the deepest spots in a lake. Successful macksters use sonar and experience to figure out what depths they can be found on any given day and then work only the ideal zones. Rookies fish the deepest spots and wonder why the fish ain't bitin'.[/#0000ff]
