Well I hit up the oxbow yesterday, no luck on bass. Saw alot of perch and sunfish though. all the weeds are starting to come in. Todays the first dya it hasn't rained in about a week. The temp is suposed to slowly rising over the next week. BTW thanks for all the info so far guys I plan on being a frequent visitor to these forums. Jerry

Thanks Deuceu72! Another odd question I have is, will getting this much rain effect the pH of the and will this have an effect on the fish?

I just started getting into fishing last year and go to a local park here in Northwest Indiana (Hammond). Calrson Oxbow park, this used to be part of the Little Calumet river and is now part of a 86 acre wetlands. Last year I was able to pull out 2-6 pound bass on a regular basis. This year the water level rose 3 feet from last year and flooded into many other parts of the wetlands. Other and myself have not been able to get a single bite since this happened and have fished many different locations. Other than the fish being in inaccessable locations now could the massive ammounts of water in the oxbow cause the fish not to feed? any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy
