Ivy is a very special place! Curious if anyone knows what's going over at Ivie that makes it such a big bass factory? What is different there that causes the bass to grow so big?

Low water for years with salt cedars growing to 12-15 ft tall and thick then the lake caught a big rise left the fish nearly impossible to reach and the fry places to hide, created a new lake.

For those w/out FB. Did that one guy quit fishing or retire, don’t see any pics of him anymore. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/03/full-35324-218119-img_8616.png) The 14 was caught in his boat. That’s his customer.

Recently flooded brush and vegetation that hasn’t been submerged before is nutrient and biologically rich.
Plant life/trees/etc that have been submerged for five years+ then starts to decay and isn’t as great….but those first five years of newly flooded trees and brush can be very conducive to growing large bass.
More water is almost always a good thing…very rarely, prolonged high muddy water can block sunlight and kill aquatic grass; but this is rare.

New lake effect from being low for so many years. It's also fairly remote. Gets a lot less pressure than lakes closer to the metro areas.

13.62 from Ivie boated from "that guy" a couple of hours ago. My friend Larry Walker caught the 13.62 yesterday from Ivie and yes he was fishing with JJ but he still had to catch the fish . Caught it on a 6" swim bait and this was his second Lunker in less than 10 days , his first weighed 13.83 and was NOT caught fishing with JJ. Congrats Larry , get another one this week buddy !!!!!
