Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree and just go with fish caught in deep water just ingest more air than fish caught in shallow water😁
-
We are talking about small amounts of gases expanding in a fish. When you fizz one only a small amount comes out. The mortality rate for fizzed fish is actually higher than most people think also. You catch a fish out of 15 ft of water- no problem. You catch one out of 50 ft-you got a floater. What is the difference between 15 ft and 50ft? Temperature and pressure. One of these has to cause the bladder to expand. Agree?
-
You don’t think gases can expand based on pressure?
-
Think of it like blowing up ballons with heium. The helium is compressed in the tank. You put the balloon on, turn the handle and release some pressure. The small amount of compressed heium comes out and expands in the balloon. Less pressure equals more volume.
-
Not the case. No air ingestion is necessary. The simple change in pressure allows the gases in the bladder to expand.

Had a good day fishing shallow. Not alot of numbers, but quality fish. 8 keepers 5 shorts. Best 5 a little over 16 lbs. Caught everything in and in front of bushes. Variety of baits, mostly soft plastics, 1 nice one on a jackhammer.

You might want to try to call the Corp office. I was told the park was closed.
-
Anyone know of any with decent parking? Haven’t been to TR since the high water.

The browns were shallow on the isolated trees, not in the bushes. I tried spinnerbait and weedless swimbait, but got nothing. My wife threw a swim worm and kicked my butt.

The water color is good above hawker point. We put in at crabtree yesterday and fished until 5. Alot of boats out yesterday, so we didn’t run around too much. We didn’t really need to though. Fished the flooded bushes with creature baits and 7” worms. I love catching them in the bushes. We also targeted any isolated trees in 4 to 5 feet of water. They are definitely biting right now.

Thank you

Thank you

Is this ramp useable right now?
-
How off colored? Still some visibility?
-
That will really get some water over the bushes. Can’t wait to get up there.

I am aware of the no fishing around the actual marina. There were no signs on any of the docks and we were a long way from the marina.
-
I have a question about the marina, I was told today that I was fishing too close to the docks and marina. I have fished by the marina for a long time and never had anyone say anything. The guy went as far to say he has a lease for the area inside the no wake buoys. That seems really crazy to me to say you can lease water on a COE lake. Can anyone share any information on these statements?

Thank you

Anyone know how much rain fell around shell knob today?
-
I just did this last month. If you are wanting to put them on the humminbird units, you will want to download humminbird pc. This makes it easier. It changes it to the correct format. I searched YouTube for “transferring gpx files to humminbird “, there are some good videos on there. Pretty easy once you do it once or twice.
-
Anyone here running one on 24 volt setting? Thinking of trying one on a 19’ Ranger.
-
Were there very many boats out today?
-
Yeah, would have done the same thing. We have encountered more of those snakes then normal this year. Some have been really aggressive.
-
Did you free the snake and get the topwater back?
