Interesting Study of Bass movements

Any lake can support a certain number of pounds per acre of bass. Most
lakes are pretty much stable. If you move bigger bass, something has to
give. It might be a 10 pound bass replaces ten one pound bass - fine
until that 10 pounder dies and there is not one growing to replace it.
Moving a few big bass may not make much difference in a fairly large
body of water. And you can increase the number of pounds per acre by
raising the fertility of the lake.

Thanks Ronnie, I will probably stop doing it...for the reasons you and
Dan gave. Actually there are more bass in all three lakes than there
probably should be. I catch tons of 1-2 lb. bass, and the occasional 4-6
lb. ones. The biggest bass caught since I've been here was just over 8
lbs., and a few people have told me some 10 lb. ones have been caught in
the small back lake.

Thanks for all the input guys!

P.S., it was almost 60 degrees and sunny today, and I caught 6 bass this
morning...getting ready to try the late afternoon bite right now!

After reading that 10 day forecast...I put my jacket on!

We had some cold weather last week, but I have the best of all
worlds...the lake in front of my cabin is just 15 feet from my front
door, I can run in and get warm, and go back out again.

But cheer up...springs is just 21 days away! grin
