For the very short period of time that I have been posting my comments I've certainly done my share of
over fishing conditions at area lakes including, but not limited to, Lake Wilhelm. My
included
about weed control, fish quality, 'PennState Fish and Boat Commission' plus, the constant 'residue from the male cow' we receive from the PSFBC biologist!
Well I'm writing this thread to tell yinz about my latest adventure to Wilhelm and just how
I am, not seeing any of those large schools of small shad swimming in their stupid circles on the water's surface. Yinz should all be delighted to know those little pesky fish are now averaging 10" in length and continue a
job destroying a once fine fishery.
However, I did some research and found some information which makes me feel sooooooooo much
about the situation at hand.
Mind you, this is merely an article published in 2012 about the problem of Shad in the area waters but, I think the writer pretty much sums up the entire scenario which in my book says, just more "residue" from the PennState Fish and Boat Commission!
For yinz who wish to read the article note the comments on; shad spawning and weeds; how bass feed heavily on shad; shad predators being stocked, how the shad were introduced, draining and dredging, etc.
Now if you'll excuse me, I must go
