Do you guys think that with this extreme cold we had this year and all the ice on the lakes that we will experience a major shad kill?? I think we might knock the numbers back some this year and therefore help our fishing. Just a theory and maybe nothing to it but most very cold winters with ice on the lakes are usually followed by a good or at least decent fishing season.

I personally thought the fishing was off last year at most places. Not all as Kentucky Lake, Green and a few others had banner years, but overall a bit off. I know Cumberland was down especially the striper bite.
