    Yeah it's on fire when 10 lbs gets you in the Top 13. And 50 blanks and some of them are some pretty good local sticks.

    I'm just glad I gave up fishing a couple years ago.

    Always been tough here right around spawn.. But new moon and water starting to stabilize or coming up? I can't imagine it would have been this tough? Where's all the keeper buck bass? Certainly still some mature fish being weighed..... Just doesn't look like any younger classes have followed them up.

    THEY.ARE.NOT.HERE! The ones in the know have been preaching this for 4-5 years now. Amazes me how so many people can be fooled by GUIDES and KDFW. OPEN your eyes.

    After Three or four years of little or no spawns what would you expect.

    You factor in a year or two of no bait fish or should I say not many baitfish then you add the carp 2+2=4

    It all starts with the zooplankton. When they decline, you get exactly what you’ve been seeing the last couple of years.

    Circle of life...the carp are filtering the zooplankton. Bass fry feed on zooplankton the first few weeks of their life but it's hard for them to find a meal so some die off. Then when you throw in a poor spawn you have a recipe for a perfect storm of a very poor year class of bass. Unfortunately this has happened multiple years in a row and it's starting to show in the catch ratio.
