They looked like upper river summer fish or post spawn fish but I caught both around point 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveearle Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Most of the beat up, sickly looking fish I have caught have been in the fall....This is also when LMB virus will hit...not saying that is what it is...just saying it is very common in the fall to see beat up, skinny fish. I caught one at TRock last year dropping shotting a dock that was literally a 4.5 lb. head and 2.5 lb. body...I catch fall spots at LOZ that you literally dont want to touch thewy are so nasty....Not saying what you are thinking is not true....just saying beat up fish in late summer/fall is not uncommon...

Members Fat Boy Posted September 29, 2010 Members Share Posted September 29, 2010 I have caught these fish on Truman, Grand, Lake of the Ozarks and T Rock this time of the yr. Most of what I have noticed is these fish come from trees, brush or something like that, something they can use as cover most of the summer and they just get beat up chaseing prey. My two cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
