Earthquake Effects on Fishing

[Bonefish]

I was on Cumberland last Friday after the earthquake, and we got no bites the entire day. I remember a number of years ago we were fishing a farm lake when an earthquake happened and it shut down the fish. We tried fishing for striper, crappie and bass without a single hit. If someone did well last Friday then I will have accept my failure as a fisherman.

We did well friday night after dark, and others reported doing well too. Maybe they had gotten over the spook by then. I was down there Friday morning and never felt a thing, of course I was asleep. Interesting question.

We did really well friday night on stripers after dark even picked up a walleye or 2.

We had one of the best days yet so far this season the day of the quake...had nothing to do with the quake...had to do with being on the front side of a cold frontal passage here Friday afternoon.

I had a terrible day striper fishing on Cumberland on "quake" day. Killed em the day before and the day after. Of course, it was also the full moon and they can get a little squirrelly then. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I sure had a tough day.

We had a great day on KY Lake that Friday, that evening in the rain was about the best 2 hours of fishing I've ever had.

P.S. MHALL, that evening was in the same bay you all hit the day before from what I heard

Was on Ky lake morning of Quake, had a great day for bass, was there all weekend, came home monday afternoon, bas fishing was great all weekend, went out sunday nite from 7 to 12 and had a nice bag of smallmouth off of the east bank POINTS. I don't think it effected the fish on Ky Lake, For crappie fishing i think it got tough for the average joe because of the lake being draw down pretty fast over the weekend and took the crappie with them. I also caught a 8 lb largemouth on bed sat afternoon.
