The Feeding Zone
Locating feeding fish is one of the most important
skills a fisherman can develop. You can mark fish on
your fish finder and not entice them to strike your lure
if they are not in their "feeding zone"!
Most species of fish have a preferred temperature of
water that they will actively feed in. Find this area of
temperature with fish present and you will greatly
increase your chances of catching fish. Remember, fish
are cold blooded. In water too cold, fish will be
dormant, sluggish and will not feed. In water too warm,
they will be seeking a more comfortable environment. So,
an understanding of how different temperatures of water
break up will help you locate feeding fish.
Here are the two main ways different temperatures of
water will break up.
On inland lakes, water temperatures tend to settle
into horizontal layers of warm and cold water that are
separated by a moderating layer known as the
"thermocline". The thermocline will be the most active
"feeding zone". On larger bodies of water like the
oceans and Great Lakes, masses of water temperature are
much larger and in a constant state of change. The
location of these large masses of temperature are highly
affected by the changes in weather conditions. These
large masses of warm and cold water also have a
moderating layer known as a "temperature break". Because
of the constant shifting of the warm and cold masses,
temperature breaks often appear as a vertical layer. The
area of, and immediately around the temperature break is
the most active "feeding zone".
In recent years, Great Lakes charter captains and
tournament fishermen have gained access to surface
temperature maps, showing the break up of warm and cold
waters on the Great Lakes. These maps are gathered by
satellite and updated daily. Learning to read these maps
will help take the guess work out of where to fish on
the Great Lakes.
