Im new to the site. I am learning a great amount of information about catching blues. My question is..I fish a cooling lake and on the hot water discharge side the water is 75 degrees, the coolest side is 58 degrees. (Right now anyways.) What is a blue cats preferred tempature that they are most likely to be active and bite? Should i fish the hot side or on the cooler side? Both sides mark fish on the finder. I fished this lake alot last year ,but only for a month in one hole i found. The temp was 85 degrees on the cool side in august and i caught many cats in the 20 lb range. Hooked into 2 i fought for 1 hour plus and couldnt turn. I have been out 3 times this year and all i seem to cach are smaller fish 2-4 lbs. In some places the lake is 70 ft deep. Thanks for your help guys. Im happy to be a part of the site. Shaun
