Thread: Where Are The Larger Fish?

Define larger fish. You might occasionally find a few 1.5lb+ fish hanging out in a school of 0.75-1.25lb fish, but chances are, they're likely chilling alone on some smaller, more inconspicuous cover. A stump, a long, root ball, etc.

OK, I'm not a tournament fisherman. Our lake has a minimum size limit of 8 inches, so, to me a 0.75-1.25 lb fish IS a larger fish!

Hmmm I'd try to find and fish smaller brush then. Same theory. I found a giant brush pile in my local lake in 52FOW. brush was 25ft tall and 25ft-30ft wide. It lit up like the milkyway on a moonless night on the screen with crappie. 1000+. They were all tiny 6-8" fish. I'm sure there may have been larger, but I wasn't trying to weed through them when I could go somewhere else and catch bigger fish.
