i will just address thread fin shad, and how they react to colder weather here on table rock. shad will search out the warmest water in the fall. as water begins to cool, the shad will migrate from the back of creeks and coves and move toward, and in a lot of cases out onto the main lake. after turn over occurs, the water temps and o2 levels are the same top to bottom. at this point in time, shad and bass alike can be at any depth. here on table rock, most often the shad will go deep, and their depth many times is determined by water clarity. i have caught bass here on table rock as deep as 111ft. we have experienced some fall and winters that the shad for whatever reason never got deeper than 10ft. or so all winter. there were some isolated areas where the shad schools did go deeper, but for the lake overall, the bait all stayed relatively shallow, and so did the bulk of the bass. when we have a very harsh winter and experience some ice on the lake, we will get a shad kill. the thread fin spawn in the spring, and most often the shad spawn occurs after the bass have spawned. bass that are feeding back up after spawn will dial in on the shad spawn and feed up. hope this will help some in chasing fall and winter shad balls.
