Morse lake Ice Fishing...WOW!!!!

You bass guys get the blame for creating POOR bluegill/crappie fisheries when you introduce shad into the fishery. That's just the way it is with fisherman, BASS FISHERMAN get the blame for the introduction of shad...to fatten up the bass and catch a new state record.

I'm in contact with two fisheries biologist here in Southern Indiana, they work for the DNR, and off the record they will flat out tell you the bass fisherman have ruined Patoka with the shad introduction. You guys don't want to except the blame and probably most of you are legit, good guys, but it's that select few running down the road in their fancy boats and trucks that pollute these lakes with shad.

That's ok though, the biologist have a plan for Patoka and it starts with several predator fish. I look for the shad population to go down with their new plans. I can't wait to read the bass guys crying over smaller bass.lmao.

As opposed to hearing you cry now about how your crappie/bluegill fishing is terrible?

Let me guess... At one point you could catch gobs of fish... and big ones right? But over the years its slowly gotten harder to catch quantity and quality... So lets find the first person to blame other than ourselves! Bass guys did it!

How many panfish do you keep in a trip? The answer is as many as can be cut into filets.

Perhaps if you tried rationing yourselves to 15-20 fish instead of 50 a day you might still be catching that same number and quantity.

The hardest thing to do sometimes is look in the mirror.
