Dead Fish at Jacobson Park

[Fntsyfbgod]

Gizzard shad and the cold probably did it. Shad kills are common in winter.

I thought it may be shad when I saw the first few but a couple of these were almost 15 inches long, making me think twice. Thanks for the info.

Shad get fairly large....I actually caught one around 2lbs at a little local lake last year on a swimbait....go figure

The lake is FULL of them. Wait until they spawn and roll around the banks in the spring. That is why most of the panfish in the lake do not grow very big but the bass and cats can get large if you can find them.

Little off topic but why hasnt LFUCG contacted KDFW about stockin the lake other than the tards that keep EVERYTHING thats remotely looks like it can be eaten

I see alot of potential in Jacobson Park, but somebody need to grow some nads and set some regulations and limits. They could probably make some decent money selling bait too. It would be nice if they could purchase the other side of the bridge and create one heck of a recreational venue. I hate having to always drive out of town to find water worth fishing.

Officially, LFUCG has only owned the lake and the park itself for about two weeks. Prior to that it was owned by Kentucky American Water (who also own the three reservoirs in town) and LFUCG simply maintained it for them.
