I ask this because most of our lakes lack vegetation which give off oxygen and provide shade
Back when I tourney fished in the 70's/80's in the GABA (They allowed Poles)I did very well especially at Lake Barkley around Dover in Late July and August fishing Buck Bushes .... Contrary to belief the best Bass were caught were about 20 yards from the creek channels ... Even though the surface temps was around 90 deg's .. and a mud flat bottom and around 3 to 6 feet deep... The reason being there was more O2 in the warmer water .. And yes the creek channel is cooler but it has less O2 do to it's density ... Just thought I would pass that alone ... <'TK><
