I think that the majority of the homeowners prefer the bass fishing to the crappie & bluegill. That is why i think this is a problem.
Personally, stick me on a lake with no bites and i'd still be happy.
Although I don't do the conservation science, it is an intruiguing thing to get into. You have all been exceedingly nice and helpful, I appreciate the warm welcome and all of the assistance! Mike
Trying to help with 7.5 Acres in the Chain of Lakes Illinois - - The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut. Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
