One of my golf buddies who lives on Lake Murray sent me the above email question. Since 99.9% of the stuff he sends me are jokes, I kept looking for the punch line. A few days later he asked me "Are you not going to answer my question?"
I did not realize he was serious. He is not a fisherman, but he has noticed there are no gulls in his cove or any other places (like the K-Mart parking lot) where he has always seen them.
Now that I've thought about it, when we got into the surface school of perch/small stripers last week on Murray, there were no gulls anywhere. Have you Murray fishermen noticed this? How about the other lakes? Are you seeing gulls or have they disappeared?
