We have a 3 acre lake we fixed the bottom of 2 years ago when it was dry. It filled up over night with a massive rain in the fall. We put a lot of fatheads and bluegill in it and let them reproduce for a few months. We then put in 50 3-5 pound bass. We still had a slight lake dam leak so we scattered bentonite on the surface near the dam. Fast forward to this summer and we can't catch a single bass. Bluegill are everywhere. You'll catch 100 out of 100 casts. We can't catch one bass though! Any thoughts? Are the bass dead? Is 50 not many for a 3 acre lake and we're just not catching them? Could bentonite have killed them?
