I made a post to here about what I thought that he could do to see what would help him with the lake. I dont have a clear as crystal ball as everyone else on here that has diagonised his problem from a couple of short paragraphs. No where does it say that the fish are stunted only that he saw a lot of 3-5 inch bass and bluegill which you always see in the shallows . Crappie fishing is not as good, he states they are hybrid crappie which means they cant reproduce if the are, so that would mean decreased numbers not overpopulation and stunted. It sounds like there are some HUGE bass in there so they arent too stunted. As far as the fertility of the lake, try going to Minnesota or Canada sometime, those lakes have no run off and if they do the ground is so poor, (nothing but sand and rocks) that there is no nutrients running in those lakes either and they are clear for 20 feet deep and have more big fish in there than you could catch in a lifetime. By his post the fish are already stocked,and not much left to help him out with so no need to confuse him. I would like to see a pic of the lake to see what it looks likes around it as he said they cut the trees down so there should be a lot of tree tops. And like all good fisherman, the 2 or 3 that are catching a ton of fish they are telling him they arent catching nothing. Just my
worth.
