Just got finished with a tournament today in Cedar Blufff KS it made me feel fortunate in IN with the lakes we have to fish. The Federation Guys there said that in 1993 the lake went almost dry, and as of the last four years the lake is still 16' low. The lake is a mass of timber with thousands of acres unfishable. My good friend has come home from Afganistan after 18 months and is at Fort Riley now so we found a tournament to knock the dust off his Ranger. We didnt know the lake and only boated one keeper but fished very hard for that one and did catch 4 short spotted bass as well but the tournament told a story of how good we have it in IN and our region. There were 4 states of the surrounding area represnted and I was told it is because in these states there just isnt anything to fish.
