Fish Chris,

There may be a bright side to this, or at least not as gloomy...a highly respected fish pro here in Texas has told me, more than once, that threadfin shad are very vulnerable to predation at those low temps and many, many will die from predation before the actual temp related fish kill...so, you could have some great, fat predator fishing down the line in springtime. In a big lake, the threadfins should bounce back fine.

If you look back 9 years ago, was that event followed by some improved predator fishing?
