Big Lake revisited

[eman]

In the big trout shoot out in July 2001 there were over 1500 fishermen.
The big trout was 10.2 lbs. The youth division was won w/ an 8.09 lb trout.
A trout needed to weigh 6.76 lbs to make the top 10 and 6.25 to make the top 20.
The winning trout and most of the big trout caught were caught drifting the lake w/ topwaters.

Although i don't live on the lake and fish it very little. This seems to point the finger at W's favorite folks .Oyster fishermen. With the destruction of the reefs ,even if the lake still has the same numbers of trophy trout (which i doubt) there is less habitat for the same fish which means it gets pounded by everyone that knows where to fish.
Am i wrong ? And do the folks that live , fish or guide on the lake feel that
stopping oyster dredging is the only way to bring back this type of catching???
