But, not sure if it will be a signifcant difference or a mild. Steve Alexander salexander@privatewaterfishing.com www.privatewaterfishing.com

Can y’all clarify? Shad dying off will make for better fishing? http://finchnastybaitco.com/

At the time there was a small power plant with lake at Savoy. TPWDtook tanker trucks and got shad there to Kick Texoma up again. Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.

You have bass, catfish, crappie and so many other species fighting for those baitfish. The baitfish die and the growth rate goes lower. Pretty simple. I would love to talk to Salex about this.
