[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 220609, member: 272"] So for the past 5 to 6 years its been the same pattern in general. The bite picks up in May early June up and down the whole lake and all the fish are 14-16" fish. 5 years ago we were all saying, boy in a few years its gonna be great again. Year after year we're sorting through 50-60+ fish to keep 5 over 16. Now last year I caught more over 20" than the past couple, but so far this year its just the same 14-16" fish. So what's happening to the fish we caught 4-5 years ago??? A. They're there, just not biting? Meaning they are mixed in with the schools of 14-16" just not as active, or smart enough not to be fooled. B. They schooled up somewhere else in the lake, just not being found by anglers. C. They're gone, died out or something. D. They've only grown 1-2 inches in last 5 years. I can't think of any other options. Now I'm not complaining about being able to catch nice eaters, but I'm just curious. [/QUOTE]
