Bummer!
Maybe we need to petition the Feds to give the white bass the same protective status the Junnies get??
Sure seems like this years crop of wb should be dimpling the water everywhere at this time of the year as they feed on the emerging and existing midges and skeeters. I have not seen any wb activity anywhere around the south end of the lake. Would be nice to see the DWR put a limit or even a closure on wb harvesting thru the ice this year. Last year people were taking wb out by the buckets full. I know the wb seem to go in cycles and as long as there is a viable breeding stock left in the lake they will come back it due time. Still... maybe give 'em a break during the winter months and for the duration of low water and poor hatches.
On the up side-- if the cats don't have enough wb to eat maybe they will show a little more interest in the carp meat. I've got plenty.
