I was thinking about this today, Patoka is and has been for a few years a lake in transition, starting most of its life as a weed bed lake and now transitioning over to a hard structure type of lake with focus on drops as well. For more years than I can remember 100’s of nice bass have been relocated from areas all over the lake to Newton Stewart south due to the influx of tournament’s that put out of that ramp. If you really stop and think about it this is huge, so many quality fish being moved to one spot, and this year it’s not happening, the majority of the fat females can and will spawn wherever they are, the males will do what they do and the bass will disperse into the local cover and get on with life as they know it, changes as small or large as they may be can have dramatic impact, curious how this unfolds.......
