Most anglers have likely heard the words "thermocline" and "turnover" associated with local fishing reports and dock talk. Both result from thermal stratification, an annual occurrence at a majority ...

The lengthy branches of the brushpile reached several feet upward. On my sonar, the limbs looked like arms cradling what I suspected were crappies. Confident that my boat was over fish 20 feet down, I ...

Each summer our local reservoirs begin to stratify with the warmest water near the surface and with the coldest water near the bottom. This stratification occurs because the warmer water becomes, the ...

I’ve long held with the belief that 10 percent of the fishermen catch 90 percent of the fish. The reason that saying rings true is that those 10 percenters understand that 90 percent of the fish are ...

RECENTLY, Salzen 1 has shown that there is a marked difference with depth in the species composition of the demersal fish fauna off Tema in Ghana. He found that there was a distinct change from ...

A study of sea surface temperatures and the thermocline, a subsurface water layer in which temperature decreases rapidly with depth, in the western equatorial Pacific over the past 142,000 years finds ...

Every year, bass anglers struggle with the fall turnover. As the nightly lows begin to drop, the water's surface layer cools. The colder water on top becomes denser and heavier than the warmer water ...
