I'm still learning this BOW. We've got a lot of bass around 12" that are aggressive on lures that we've been culling out. The lake is usually around 5 acres and as big as 7.5 but down to 2 acres now. I'm not sure how that effects the forage reproduction or the bass growth. I'm thinking it's had a negative impact because there are not a whole lot of places for the forage fish to hide and get big. We've got a decent amount of bluegill eating when the fish feeder is on (it's broken now) but I'm thinking there should be many, many more. I'm sorry this is a little vague, but with the water level so off this year it's hard to predict what the impact has been. I just want to do whatever I can to make sure the bass are able to grow as good as possible.
