Default Largemouth Bass and Walleye/Pike - Busom Buddies, or Odd Couple?

Hey Gang,

I spend most of my bass-fishin' time in a 105-acre man-made inland resevoir lake in SE Michigan (see this thread for details). The lake has a very plentiful population of walleye and pike in addition to LM bass and various other species. The average lake depth is around 8', with various deep pools in the 10-15 foot range (see the construction bathymetry map of the lake below).

I have read that walleye and pike, naturally, tend to prefer cooler temperature waters than LM bass. So my question is this:

With the lake having somewhat tight, isolated deep water pools, would these species "bunk up" together in those areas during the hotter summer months when water temperature rises, or would one species be more prone to dominate these pools, forcing the other out?

Thanks,

GP.
