I don't know what has happened, ecologically, but none of the Miss River fed lakes have been very productive for the last several years. Could it be the 2011 flood? I'm not the only one to observe this phenom. Folks who fish more different Oxbows & more often than I have observed it also. I'v been fishing the River fed Oxbows for 60 years and never seen it this slow for sport (bass, crappie, bream) fish. Could it be the Gars, Asian Carp? Anybody have a link to any recent "Fish Inventory" data? I'd like to compile a comparasion chart for the last 15 years.
Anybody remember Moon Lake back in the 1950's? There were trolling boats galore!! Some held as many as 20 people. You would pay for a spot on a boat & they'd take you out!! Or the "Pay to Fish" Piers? Then the Lake died, nothing!! I hear it's come back a little tho..
Looking for thoughts, inputs, theroies, explanations here, Please!!!
