Any CONFIRMED sightings of actual dead BASS?
As usual there is golden algae present - but has anyone seen dead bass or just small bluegill and shad?

I was there last week for the whole week. Our place is across from the state park and our dock always has fish around it and even more so at night with the underwater lights on. Last week there were none. Saw a handful of bait fish at night over several days. Livescoped it both day and night and saw nothing. Water is a murky green with maybe two feet of vis which is uncharacteristic for PK. Further down the lake in Bulff creek we found lots of Shad. They were still there Saturday but many were swimming erratically and there were lots of dead ones with a few very small crappie floating. Shad were absolutely packed into the back of Neeley’s on Saturday and we did catch a few sandies and a striper but no black bass. I did not see any dead Shad there. The lake is off for sure and there are seagulls and pelicans everywhere picking up the dead Shad. More than I have seen since we have been there. I did not see any big floaters of any sport species. This was the first time I have gone down there and not caught or seen something from our dock since we got the place and I have never seen the water look like this. We never put a black bass in the boat either just sandies and striper that would bite cranks and swim baits, I got zero bites on soft plastics. It was very strange and I am very concerned.

there is something going on was there sunday didnt mark many fish when that many seagulls an pelicans show up they prey on the weak baitfish.

I have been up there a bunch the last 3 weeks. I have seen no dead bass. I will say that there are certain areas that seem real dead. I have been crappie fishing and there tend to areas that do the same thing as other areas at the same time. The last few weeks stuff that I would normally burn them on are dead sea with scope. I can go to similar type stuff in other areas and they are loaded. I graphed a large area near north dd last week and didn't see a single fish of any type. I think the GA situation on granbury is much worse from what I saw Sunday.

Is it some sort of water PH situation?

Golden algea

i was there last weekend and the bass fishing was great. i caught a lot of fish from 2 to 6lbs and one pushing 8. they all looked healthy to me. i didn't notice any dead fish anywhere either.

side note- i didn't fish anything more than 5'-6' deep, so i wasn't live scoping much

What part of the lake? Mid lake looks like [censored] right now on scope in most places. No bait, not fish, no nothing, We fished shallow out to about 20 feet at times. Caught our fish way down south on the lake but could not get bit by a bass.

up north

Friday & Saturday I fished up the State park arm and saw several dead crappie and bass. Not much catching going on either.

That’s where we are on the lake and it was dead in that area last week. How far up did you go to where you saw the dead fish?

I went two weeks ago and fished mid lake. Water had a definite gold color to it and I blanked for the day. I felt like something was off.

Went yesterday and fished the lower end of the lake with normal colored, clear water. Caught 13 up shallow with the biggest going around 4 pounds.

There looks to be a small golden algae bloom going on only in certain portions of the lake.
