    It seems like the whole state is fishing awful lately. I was at GV on Sunday and only boated 4 fish all day. This summer has been one giant disappointment for me. I can't catch a darn thing unless I'm at my local lake

    Wow, on the 21st my club was at GV and everyone had limits and I won with 21lbs. Small boat club was there the day before and I think first had 19lbs. Maybe tough due to the algae bloom?

    I caught a 5.25 beginning of June at anita, the last 3 trips have been a grind there forsure

    I was also at GV last sunday, caught 4 fish all day, 2 were lil over the 3.5#, iowa lakes are getting stingy lately!

    Maybe its the algae bloom at GV but locals tell me it happens every year there??

    If there is a lake that they could afford to take big fish from that would be GV. Anita seems a little too small for them to take big bass from
