Yes we have noticed when fishing early in the day up there many times the fish are warmer than the air temp when you catch them, kind of strange sensation. We always have a cooler full of crushed ice and put the kokes in the ice immediately. No problem with the eating quality when handled that way.

As far as "areas" of the lake. It is not that big a body of water. It is worth doing some looking around and searching by fishing, remember shallow fish are hard to find on fish finder. I can say I have caught fish in 4 distinct different areas than where most most of the action is and people are regularly fishing for them.
Take some time to explore it can pay off. But remember the golden rule, if you are getting them "Don't leave fish to find fish" LOL
