Correct me if I’m wrong..... 30+ years ago, conventional wisdom was if you wanted an opportunity to catch a double digit bass your best bet was east of I 35. What’s changed?

All the spraying of grass has taken it's toll on the lakes to the east.

All the spraying of grass has taken it's toll on the lakes to the east. 100% lakes have aged which resulted in loss of habitat. Then with hydrilla being wiped out its hurting our fisheries tremendously. Used to be an east Texas lake where I caught one or two over 7 every trip with best 5 always averaging around 25. Nowadays it's hard to even catch 5 quality fish a day.
I can backlash toilet paper.

Draught/Flood cycle has helped West side become more fertile. Focused stocking to shore up populations were also helpful.
