Thread: Has anyone else noticed?

Check along the banks jigfisher, If there was alot of cold weather and parts of the lake frozen over alot of the shad probably died off. I know the small lake I fish (150) acres lost most of their shad population due to it freezing over.

I still see the bigger shad , but haven't seen any small enough for
Crappie to eat. The cats from that area have looked starved.

Back on Feb 16th I posted a question on the ask biologist about the shad kill, and he said that Truman had plenty of shad and not be a problem, well when you see as many shad that died and the size of those that died whither it was in Truman or below the dam and you dress skinny fish with no minnows or shad, or anything else in the tummy it makes a person wonder.

My thought exactly. Had a 11 inch fish so skinny you could see through both fillets laid together.

I came across the dam bridge Friday 4/4/14 about 6:30 pm & there was probably 20 boats in there fishing & noticed they were running water..Must have had some luck or probably that many boats wouldnt be there..
