airborne_angler Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I see this on every body of water I go to and it just puzzles me. It gets windy at times and some spots of the lake are choppy but at random spots the water is smooth as glass. Does this indicate a creek channel,under water structure of what? Or is just the wind pattern doing this? Quote
Troutfisher Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Hmmm.....can't help you there. Not sure what that is. Wait, wait! It's NESSIE!!! Quote
George Welcome Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Just the air mass moving - wind pattern Quote
KenDammit28 Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 could be a couple things but like George said..air is the most common reason. a depth change could also do it. Quote
VekolBass Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Could be a shallow area with weeds at or just beneath the surface. Quote
Needemp Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I have always noticed that too and I have recognized that a lot of times it is related to a creek channel, but not always. I think it does have something to do with whats under the surface because it doesn't matter how hard the wind is blowing, it stays at the same spot on the water. BUT I can not explain it :-X Hopefully someone reads this and is knowledgable enough to explain it ;D Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted July 26, 2006 BassResource.com Administrator Posted July 26, 2006 If it's random and moves around - it's simply the wind. Neat little patterns, and sometimes an indicator of a gust of wind heading your way. If the calm spot stays in one spot despite the breeze, usually it's weeds either on or just under the surface. At least, that's how it always is in my experience. Quote
Needemp Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 It could be nessie. I volunteer you go under the water and tell us what you see! Quote
KenDammit28 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 thats what I meant with depth change. The more shallow the water, the less choppy or disturbed its gonna look. Weeds and other things will calm the flow of water down and make it appear "still" in an otherwise moving body, too. Quote
Guest the_muddy_man Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Oh MY AVID TOOK THE NEW CANOE OUT AND SWAMPED IT ALREADY Quote
CrazedL.IFisherman Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I have definitely seen that too many times but never thought to go over and check it out, the guys do seem right with the weeds answer, maybe its time to go over there and actually fish ;D Quote
Troutfisher Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 It could be nessie. I volunteer you go under the water and tell us what you see! Ok, I did, and here's what I found.... He's real after all.... Quote
Needemp Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Well, I dont think you found Nessie, but it appears you found Elvis! :-/ Quote
