Yeah, that is a concern for sure. I'm watching it happen to my friend's pond right now. It used to be great for fishing, but the bass don't bite like they used to.

Question, do YP develop the same hook-shy tendencies?


When a given fish becomes 'hook-shy,' I think we consider that as the fish won't hit lures. I think if you fish with live bait, that problem may be diminished.
