Is the difficulty in getting shiners due to the stirred up lake this year and turbidity inshore, the algae coming on earlier, poor shiner spawning due to the weather, something else or combination of all these? I can understand the full moon problem but we have had some calm nights and not a full moon lately so would be interesting to know what is driving their problems...
