Sad Day Of Fishing

Featured Replies

Went to the usual spot and it is almost completely wiped out. 2/3 of what was lake is now land and what is left is split into two sections with fish trapped in both. It was about a 10 acre lake but even full the average depth was around 2-3 feet. Tons of fun to wade fish though and loads of bass.

I just found this spot a few months ago and it is LOADED with big fish, now i'm afraid they are all going to die. All I see swimming around are Gar and Mudfish. I saw two dead bass floating.

thats s.h.i.t.t.y. man. Sorry to hear :(

Could you should catch as many bass as you can and then transport them to another pond?

The fact that you've caught adult bass is evidence that your pond has survived several dry seasons.

I wouldn't rush to judgment, because Florida is now entering the rainy season (Jun - Jul - Aug)

and if anyone has a magic wand, it's Mother Nature ;)

I'm just curious as to how much water it takes to keep a decent number of fish alive. Every day the amount of water shrinks more and more. There may not be anything but a puddle left before it rains.

I'm gonna go check up on it tomorrow to see how it's looking.
