How they explained it on KY Lake was that the small Kys were so aggressive that they would (& had) over populate and diminish forage for the bigger fish. Taking shorts out for 3-4 years did seem to help. Not trying to stir the pot here, just though that might've been the point some of the Pros were trying to make. If it doesnt apply... OK.
I think Kentucky implemented a shorter limit on Spots. It seems to have drastically improved the overall quality of all Bass species.
I'm a huge advocate of catch and release, but those 12-13 inch Kys are mighty tasty!!!
So you're saying that Bass Pro helped sponsor and implement a program to plant brush piles in the lake just so they could sell lures to replace the lost ones?!? Really! That's what you're saying?!? Give me a break.
All permits have been cancelled, so yes the tournamnet is cancelled. We will try our best to reschedule, but it will probably be in the late Summer or early Fall.
Based on information & recommendations from MSWP & ACE we have cancelled. We will meet soon to determine if we can reschedule for later this year.
Hope to get it done; it means a lot to us.
I just received a call from the Regatta Office in Jeff City. They are pulling all Tournament Regatta permits through May 7th.
Our tournament is cancelled. We will make every effort to reschedule at a later date.
