I spoke with a guide fishing near me two weeks ago and I asked him if he thought the stripers were skinny/thin and he said yes. Said he thought the fish were stressed due to the warmer water which at a pretty deep depth was significantly warmer than last year. He said he had seen a bunch of floating fish.Originally Posted by Boone
Was also hoping some of the local fishing guides with experience on the lake would have some input on the subject. But not sure they are members of the board?
...but then we could talk about if fish float or sink when they die. I know after you hook and release one this time of year they obviously float.
In past years I would catch drum from tine to time. This year I have not nor have I heard of anybody catching one. Don't know if that is the case or what it might mean because seems like they can live anywhere as observed in the Ohio river which gets 84 degrees from top to bottom in the summer.
