It's not about people posting reports or not. They're just not any numbers. There are guys consistently mopping up in dularge, empire, and lake P right now, and they had the same winter we did. I ask around and talk to many people who don't even get online, and fact of the matter is.... It's slow right now. Hopefully things will pick up soon once the bait catches up from the long winter.... If not... I've got my perch jerker spooled up. Toledo bend, here we come.

I know people that were filling stringers every trip just a couple weeks ago on big lake. They just ain't talking about it. The fish move a lot this time of year it's hard to stay on top if them.
I haven't heard a lot of reports from lake p either. 15-20 fish here and there. Dularge always stacking pickles.

Do you guys think fishermen are catching but keeping their mouth shut to keep the crowds down in BL? Posting pics of stringers w/ 5-6lbs trout seem to get the crowds out all over the place with full parking lots.

I also know two guys that saw black panthers while deer hunting and one of the panthers was being petted by big foot at the time of the sighting!

They swear to it! lol

The fish are there, the reports are not! I know a few people that have been putting a hurting on them that don't get online, not to mention the ones that get online but don't post reports...I could have posted a few reports over the last couple of weeks but all that does is load up the spots with potlickers

[SULPHITE]

What's that saying....80% of the fisherman catch 90% of the fish?!??! errrr or is 20% of stds ....all hell I don't know just put your boat in some water and fish FCS...

Its way over fished for one and two we are not done with winter yet. went out there couple times this month and only caught reds it was slowing going to. There are plenty of bait fish in the waters. I work on the local waters 14 days at a time and see alot. From currents, fish movement, weather etc etc. I study that all the time out here so when i get off i have a good idea. Ive been seeing a ton of tx reg boats on our waters so on top of use local boys we now have our tx friends fishing our spots.

There is no hard data showing Big Lake is over fished. Tx anglers pay $90 for the privilege of trying, but they are no more successful at catching trout in Big Lake than Louisiana anglers. The Tx anglers have been fishing Big Lake for a loooooong time, so it's nothing new. There's a big difference between a lake being over fished and the anglers being unable to find the fish.

Big Lake is, well, big. Lack of success fishing can be attributed to three possible factors. 1. There are not enough fish in the lake. 2. The fish are somewhere in the lake other than where you are fishing. 3. The fish are not buying what you are selling.

Anglers tend to gravitate toward "there are not enough fish in the lake" as their preferred explanation because the other options suggest room for growth in their angling abilities. This is fine until they begin exerting pressure on gov't to change the rules to help get more of their "fair share" instead of becoming better fishermen.

Your "fair share" is out there. Go and get it. Just don't blame someone else of the techniques that worked last month or last year aren't working today. The location of the fish and the best techniques to catch them can change quickly for very subtle reasons. Some of the better anglers have stopped posting pics of lots of fish and the details of how they were caught because they prefer more solitude on the water. That is there right.
