Thread: What happened?

I know some folks dont get to fish alot and will keep some short fish, and I probably dont blame 'em (much) but it seems like a waste cleaning fish that small as they will grow to 10"-11" fish pretty fast IMO. But by removing some of those smaller fish it allows more food for the bigger fish to feed on so maybe it doesnt really hurt anything either.

Glad you got your buddy on some fish. Maybe the water will begin cooling before long and the bigger fish will show up again. Congrats on your catch.

Just keep moving youll find em agian. Try some spots you have not fished in awhile or look for new cover in areas of the lake you have never fished if thats possible for you Nimrod. 40 keeprs is still a good day tho.

I'll take a coolerful of 10's any day. For frying, I'd rather have those than a big one.

Hope the biggun's come back out!!! GOing to take a buddy over there this week and let him try em, he is a regular green carp fisherman... Going to try and show him what it is all about!!!

Exactly, plan on taking them to a stump row or two that been lay'n out. Guess after about a month my favorite holes are thinned out. Time for a rest anyway, hate to see my friends leave. But I could use the rest and get my yard mowed!

The bigger ones are probably suspended and scattered out in the open water of the lake in this hot weather. Make a scouting run with your ff and see it you can find them.

most of the times a cold front will shut down the bite of bigger fish . the 2nd and 3rd days behind a front is the worst . when the wind make its cycle from the north- northeast -east and back to so.east to south the bite will pick back up.
