CAPTAIN HOOK
Just looking at the reports ...wonder what happened to all the Pike that were there years ago ....not that I care for Pike ...just odd that they totally disappeared and never naturally spawned .
That was mid 70s Capt. before the PFBC catered to the BASS association or the live bait anglers didn't use shad for bait which is why all the area lakes suddenly became polluted with shad in the 90s. That, was about the same time fish specific lakes was the agenda of the PFBC which the PFBC still denys.
In my book, Wilhelm is returning to the lake it once was. An all around fishing lake intended for the enjoyment of all anglers.
Howeverrrrrrr....... the powers need be keeping a close eye on the pan fish, such as crappie, gills, & perch, being harvested from the lake.
IMHO..... if not already, daily "creel" limits should be imposed.
In other matters, a shoutout to Mikesdad and thanks for the info.
Hope to see all younz all on Wilhelm, this Spring.
Good times and tight lines.
