Was finally starting to put a pattern together for the hill. Early AM marking bait in 18-26' of water, picking up a few fish in those depths. As the morning went on, they seemed to shift out to 26-33'. Cold front came in and now I can't find bait or fish in any sort of pattern.
In Central Florida fishing salt water, if you had a good cold front, the fish would go deep until the sun warmed the shallows, then they would move up into the warmer water.
Do freshwater fish do the same thing here? Surface Water temp only dropped from 74.3' to 72.4.
 
it may be different from where you fish but on ky lake bait starts transitioning back to the shallower bays and creeks in the fall. they follow the plankton and gamefish follow the bait. theyll be scattered until it drops to around 60 deg then theyll start to school up. its tough fishing until about november.

the thing about planton is they like to live in low light and cooler water. thats why youll see bait shallower before light and they go deeper as it gets more light. the same for the fall transition. the bait always follow the plankton.
