Crappiepappy , we have a new water reservoir that opened to the public about 4or5 years ago . When it first opened I caught those “ red bellies” on a consistent basis , around the docks and boat ramp . I released everyone I had the pleasure of catching .
Now , it’s rare to catch anything there unless I venture out in my jonboat . What little area that’s accessible from shore is fished to death . Gillchaser
