What ever happened to the bluegill?

What about stocking Blues? dpon't they feed primarily on shad? I have heard the stories about the Gills that used to be caught. What a shame. The only thing that makes a Gill taste better, which is hard, is a couple slices of bread. Lol

There are already blues, channels and flatheads in the lake.

Just over 5 and a quarter million walleye fry were stocked in Patoka. It is great to hear that they are doing well.

Musky would work in Patoka, but they also eat bass....and everyone knows what happens when you stock a fish capable of eating a 4 lb. bass in Patoka....

I was told that they still bring up some pike during the surveys, but they are deep and in the timber usually.

I asked Carnahan about this and he said they haven't taken on in 4 or 5 years. Sure would like to see some Musky or tiger musky in the lake.

I was a boy but i remember see the pike and they were trophy. Is it a case of reproduction or poor fish mangement? We don't fish like they did back then we know things will change good for the shad and stripper bad for the bluegill and crappie. Now the question is who do you make mad!!!
