La Cygne Lake in Kansas is a Power Plant Lake which has 60-degree water coming out of the discharge. This makes the overall lake water temp 15 degrees higher than surroundings lakes in Kansas and Missouri. The coldest water I found in my 7-hour fishing day was 43 degrees. I started out on the face of the damn with a crankbait and A-rig, and just wasn’t seeing the fish on my forward-facing sonar. I moved to several areas throughout the lake that have produced for me over the last 25 years of fishing this lake (mostly underwater rock piles) and still no bass. I moved to a main lake channel swing and quickly started catching bass on the Luck E Strike STX jerk bait. Eight out of the Ten bass a boated were suspended directly over stumps located in 13’ – 8’ of water. Only five of my ten bass were keepers (must be 18”) but catching a January limit in Kansas…I will take it.
