Spraying Petition

I was wondering why we still have 30 plus pound bags at local tourneys! What seems to be the problem with grass not being where we want it be this year? We have all the newest electronics to go find fish and it would be great to see miles of grass like Guntersville but this year it is just not so. Next year when the grass comes back full force what are we going to say then? It is fall and the weather is turning cool and the pleasure boaters are dwindling down and it is an awesome lake. Could be worse but Mother Nature has her reasons.

The grass is the basis of the whole chain of life in a reservoir. That's what is tough about this. we'll still see big bags of fish for a year or two, but if it continues, the lack of habitat will slowly affect bait & bass populations. By the time we go, "What happened to the big bass we were seeing last year", the damage is done for at least 3-5 years. The system will balance to the amt of available habitat. We have to see if the grass comes back downriver next year, but if it stays this way for a few years, guarantee you we'll see the results at weigh ins!

Benny Hull called in to talk radio this morning and discussed for a few minutes. He believes spraying is the culprit also. I believe Jeff was open to spending more air time on the subject. It would be a good show.

I'd like to here this. Is it on the internet anywhere so that it can be listened to again? Miss ole Benny, He and his videographer followed me and my twin cousins while they fought a giant fish and then it broke the line!</p>

Wgow talk 102.3.
It was during the 9am hour.
I don't know if they save the shows for podcast or not.
Fred the Show 10a to 12p would be a good slot.
Host Brad Geisa is a fisherman.
The number is 267-1023.
I'm not affiliated with the station in any way. I'm just a talk radio junkie.
