[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1068832, member: 5412"] The shad population sux. Problem is the Zebra mussles. We had an ODW bioligist come in a couple of years ago, and explained this to us. The main diet of zebra mussles is phyloplankton. The main diet of zooplankton is phyloplankton. The main diet of shad is zooplankton The main diet of hybrids/stripers is shad. The shad have little to eat, and the predators of the shad also have less food. We catch bass and stripers that should weigh 1/3 more than their length would be if they had sufficient food. Bellies sunk in and really thin across the back. Y'all need to do all you can do to prevent the spread of these mussles if you want your fishing to get better. We can drop a 1/4" rope in the water, and within a week it will be covered with mussles. Kaw lake is the same way. Back in the day, 18-19 lb hybrids were common. Now, a 5 lb is a trophy. Stripers seem to be doing better with it though. Time will tell [/QUOTE]
