As we fished this Lake over the last two years we watched boats being pulled out on the dock knowing they had some big fish in there live wells, wishing a Game Warden would pull in. Well here it is mid May 2016 and were really struggling to catch fish. And I've been skunked the last two times out this spring. (not good ) We were on the Lake one day last summer when to F&W boys were shocking the lake for fish counts and they said they've noticed a huge drop off on the fish numbers. I can say from here on out we'll be watching and paying more attention to what the other boats are doing with there fish. I've got the Poachers HOTLINE in my phone. I'm ready now... Let's try CATCH AND RELEASE fella's Here's a hot tip : I hear there's big fish being caught at McNeely Lake.
