I haven't ran into any moss or slime yet.  Steve I hope we get a report on how you did this weekend at Stockton.

Slime is all over the lake, if you let your jig hit bottom you'll be in the slime. Have been fighting it with c-rig last two weeks. It's in big and little sac and sons, haven't fish dam area yet.

fished the dam area last Saturday and did get some but doesn't seem as bad as other areas

The slime is pretty much lake wide. It's clinging to all the courtesy ramps around the launch sites and to all the docks on the lake. When you get in the trees it's visible too. Usually high phosphorus levels and warmer than usual water temps are the main causes. On the other hand the warmer winters have been a boom to the shad population for a number of years. On one occasion many years ago I walked out on the lake to set brush piles on 4-5" of ice. In those cold years there would be thousands of fluttering shad that were dying off. Big Hill lake in SE Kansas, which is a fairly clear lake is every bit twice as bad as Stockton. The ever present wind action does help some.

Yep slime, on my lures, slime go away, Were are the zebra mussels when you need them ? I will live with the slime. Zebra mussels stay away.

FYI don't slap a spro RK crawler on the water to get the slime off. It cracks the bills.

Ouch! That's a costly slap!
