Bass relocating?

[sully]

It seems like the last 3 or 5 years the numbers of fish and the size has not been as good on the lower end. Do yall think all the 100-300 boat tournaments out of Dayton has took alot of fish upriver?

hard to say but kind of makes sense. specially when the studies theyve done show that largemouth dont go far where they are released

probably more to do with those tournaments POUNDING on the fish every single day of the week

Yep Richland creek best stocked spot on the whole lake. We did the same thing for twenty plus years going up north and bringing them back to Chester frost in the cba and other tournaments held on the lower end. But the number one thing to blame is all the ytube hero's and Facebook attention seekers posting all the pictures of big fish . It attracted all the out of towners and outside tournaments from other regions to come here and pillage our local lake and when it's all dried up they will find the next hot lake and hammer it. Job well done internet!

Yes. When you are moving large amounts of older age class, spawning fish, there is no way it doesnt affect population. Up river is fishing way better than down river right now and has been for a while. 5.45lbs won the three fish dog fight out of wolftever last night.

I got out for a couple of hrs and was coming in when the dogfight was going out. Zip, nada for me as well.......
