Have you ever seen a lake go from wonderful to completely awful so fast without being drained??? 5 years ago lots of fishermen and lots of success. Today a dingey puddle devoid of fish and fishermen. from 114 boats to 3. One fall they were plentiful. winter/spring floods came and when water went down it was never the same. imagine nimrod today and 5 years from now the dead sea./ It can happen. It has at Burnt cane.
It would be hard to turn it to the dead sea with huge spawns but may return to the ''dink hole'' as some call it . Nimrod has such huge spawns the small ones can become stunted . If too much pressure removes all the good ones and one Shad spawn fails they could be in trouble fast !:twocents
those little ones have to eat. When the number of carp gets high enough they can compete with the little ones. Burnt cane was absolutely full of all sized crappies. Sure seems empty now except for thiose carp everywhere. They have a very small stomach and feed almost continually. On the plankton those crappie like. May not be able to get to Nimrod and I hope they sure don't. IMHO they have almost ruined Mississippi river basin oxbows.
Something ruined those and the white river oxbows for sure.
They have all but killed the fishing at The Cutoff.
And the "chute"
Horseshoe at Augusta

In asked about fishing Burnt Cane a few years ago. I got replies that it was a great body of water for crappie. My son and I went the next spring. We fished about 6 hours for 1 crappie that was 11 inches. I brought home 6 crap for the garden.
Teach everyone you can. If this fish gets in your boat or by chance on your line it isn't a throw back. It's for the trash can, garden or any other way you want to deposit of it.
