I am wondering if the bass have taken over my crappie trees and driven off the crappies?
Moose, I wouldn't think bass that size would drive them off, but, those 5lb and larger might. It might be that the weather or pressure may have made the fish move off and suspend in open water. Just my thoughts on the subject.
