well i dont have 50 years on the lake but waleyewelch is right its a little early to hit the panic button. times are changin and so are the fish. maybe this is wat the fish need is a bad year for us to help their poplution so in the coming years fishin will be better. and thats why they call it fishin and not catchin its not always going to be a great day on the water but it will always beat a day at work.
