Report From 05/19/2013 On A Meramec Basin Tributary

[thewhitesnoop]

What's wrong with many streams right now is a combination of things.....

1. Poachers along with catch & keep

2. otters

3. last years drought

4. poor management by MDC (i.e. opening bass season on Memorial weekend)

5. spotted bass

6. giggers killing bass

7. Increased fishing pressure do to people finding good fishing spots on internet message boards

This is all a lot for the bass to overcome and fully populate a stream.

1) hillbillies

2) slob city slickers

3) kids with no parental guidance

4) people from Illinois ? Believe it or not these idiots drive all the way to Lonedell for a bucket of ten inch bass

You can have a nice fishery. My goggle eyes are the best I've seen in 15 years

Hey now, not all of us from IL are after a bucket full of 10" bass.

Unless they're spots. Those are pretty tasty.
