    Lowrance Screenshot Interpretation | Ice Off | Highway to a Cove | Schooling Fish

    By

    With a very long winter, many of our lakes just recently broke free of ice. Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho has been free of ice for a good period of time, but flooding and muddy water has been present for several weeks. With access limitations to the chain lakes, I hit the main lake in search of smallmouth bass. As you can see, the water temperature was in the low 40s; but these kokanee, or chinook, were hanging around 30-feet of water. In most cases, catching smallmouth around these schools is possible, but I found many schools of salmon that simply did not create enough interest for bass altogether. As a general rule though, find the baitfish like this and find the smallmouth.
