Never really did much deeper water fishing but I've been doing a little more of it and I got to reading about the thermocline setting up in lakes around 20-30 foot deep that don't have much if any current flow. I've seen it at lake tuscaloosa and holt lake. I've trolled crankbaits at 15-17 ft deep and caught crappie this past weekend.

I've been doing some drift fishing for catfish and I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried to drift fish shad where the thermocline sets up or 5 foot or so above it.

I should add that I can see it on my depth finder and didn't have a clue what it was until my buddy mentioned seeing it on his depth finder too and I started researching it.
