15 Trout Limit Discussion PUBLIC

[Big Kahunaz]

Weird are the most pressured spot on the lake and fella had a 3 man limit in orange basket of 3-7brs

I feel the big girls are still in there but when u have running and gunning up and down all the banks reefs etc more than likely she ain't going for your hook

I'll try the deep water channel soaking and post reports. I'm even thinking about making my own channel reef outta cinder blocks busted up in 8-15 ft of water off the channel

*weirs*

[huntin fool]

As stated, your biggest factor is the over populated lake, not enough bait to produce the previous trophy trout, which I'm sure could be traced back to the weirs. Sure your running and gunning has some effect I'm sure, but not enough to hurt it that much. It's all a chain reaction almost.

I sent some emails from question some guys wanted answered...hope they will be an answered on monday

So we know 1 fact still

There was Zero facts to change it from 25-15

"yes" but no way in hell u can tell me the same amount. Used to on the east side of the lake your main launches were devils elbow Herbert's or prien
Never do I recall while growing we having a hard time getting parking at Herbert's or devils elbow. Now u have calc point filled to the brim along with xtra parking lot filled at heberts and prien is and will always be a mixed boaters launch. Even Spicers and the launches on the west side have grown in traffic along with the growth of home/camp boat slips.

It's like the other day when I was catching good 3-5lb trout every other cast and this jimmy comes up behind me when I'm fighting a fish to bring to the scales and on her second dive to the back of the boat she breaks me off on my motor. So as I begin to retie he's watching this and trolls wide open up to the exact spot I was in 20-25 yds away from me (wind had blown me off) and power poles down! I was like WTH? Not a single fish hit My bait nor his
Pressure does effect the bite
Specially when your running right over the damn hole

We caught 60 trout last Sunday with 25 Jimmy in and out all day...and all on topwater...so pressure did not affect us

And over populate

Thought this was a big trout issue and not numbers

It is but I'm ruling out pressure

[huntin fool]

Regardless pressure does not cause near the damage that overpopulation does.

With all the boats running around that small body of water every day.....you cannot tell me that it does not matter to big trout. Big Lake is overpopulated alright....with boats.

That boat running over the hole ain't going to affect the feeding pattern. It may displace the fish, but they still have to compete for bait with all the other trout.
I'm no biologist, but
I just can't see boating affecting it as much as overpopulation.

It'll damn sure affect the catchin' pattern.

I find it interesting that no one has mentioned the fact that the lake is no longer fished commercially. I'm sure most people that have been around awhile know what kind of numbers used to be taken out of that lake.

Bottom line is....we don't have the over all size adv like we had in 2002-2007
