Bass Dieing

Featured Replies

I have fished at the same pond for a long time and yesterday when I went fishing the fish were very warm and they were floating to the top of the pond and I thought they were dead but they would swim away in like 5 seconds then I went fishing to day and there were fish floating dead every were in the pond.

Summer kill. Not enough oxygen in the water. 

yeap, lake got hot and oxygen got depleted.....might even turned over and fish got caught in the middle.

 

 

but don't fret, not all the fish died, I assure you of that.

I second that, I just pulled my personal best out of a pond that turned over approx. two years ago. I never wasted time on the pond after the turnover. I ended up seeing a friend there fishing the other day and stopped by and threw in a shaky head while I talked to him. Two casts in I set the hook and land a nice bass as far as Ohio pond bass go. I guarantee that, had it not been for that turnover, that bass would have never gotten to that size. Mother nature has a way of regulating itself...I have pulled out two more bass over 2 lbs since then after realizing that pond still held fish.
