Been fishing since I could walk practically, 50 years. Fishing and hunting fanatic. Former Redman tournament fisherman...won a few. I know a lot about fishing and hunting but I am never sure about anything...for sure.

Interesting. Wonder why they would spawn in the Ohio and Mississippi but not the Tennessee River. They are not as bad in our area as those videos you see but I’m sure it will get there eventually.
Matches up with my experience. We only fish it because we are 15 minutes from the ramp. The next closest bigger lake, Patoka isn’t an easy lake to catch fish in either….for me anyways.
My main point is, although it wasn’t great before, it’s gotten worse it seems.
The problem with the BASS Classic was they had it at the worst time of the year. Summer is really tough. Back in the 90s and up to about 2005, fishing in the Spring and late Fall was pretty good for this area of the country. You could catch 2-4 pound Spotted Bass and 4-5 pound Largemouth. Big bass in a tournament would usually be 5-6 lb range. This was between March and May. There is one particular marina that I use as a guidepost that always held big fish as long as you weren’t the 3rd or 4th guy through. I also remember Spotted Bass commonly spawning on the trim tabs of big boats. This rarely happens either anymore. I’m sure one thing that hurts is several good marinas have silted in too.
They built a new bridge and some have blamed that but I can’t see how that affects things.
Has anyone seen the bass fishing negatively impacted by Asian Carp where they fish? I have fished the Ohio River McAlpine (Louisviile) pool for 25 years and the fishing seems to get worse wvery year. The only thing I can think of to cause this is the influx of Asian Carp.
It used to be we would have 10-15 lb bags in little 3 hour week night tournaments in the spring. Now 6 lbs is a constant winner. Catching anything over 3 pounds is rare now. It’s always been tough but just seems way worse now.
Wondering anyone has info on largemouth bass fishing or guides in Puerto Rico. Do they get big like Mexico? I was told Peacock bass are small here. Thanks!
