Skinny Striper from PK lake ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-75490-192917-img_0376.jpg) Not much meat on them ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-75490-192918-img_0379_1.jpg) I see this as a direct result of the February 2021 freeze that killed off the threadfin shad downlake. Still a good population up lake but next to none downlake. Before the freeze, I would see huge shad balls in Neely Slough when the wind died down in the evening. Now, there are none. Can't even find them with a throw net. Even the large mouth bass I'm catching are skinny. Anyone else seeing this?

Haven't fished PK since April of this year ! Don't like what I'm hearing and seeing. Cold weather will force shad and fish to gather. Should find out more then .
