YEP TWO DIFFERENT things ;;
the funky slim ones I,ve been catching for 30 years .
Got some real messy ones last week ;
then there is the mico@#$%^&*( disease . that,s the one with the soares /
I hadn,t seen those until the last 5- 6 years ;
last year Denis & I got 125 fish up to 18# one day ... 100 had them ......... the next week are catch was down / but so was the average size & the percentage of disease fish were down .
this week two trips one 32" fish with the leasions & one small fish with the creeping crud .
from all the guys that have studied this in depth ,,,,,,,they are both fatal ..........another reason the bass are in trouble .
our winter fishing has been going exactly as the May to November fishery ..... down hill every single year ;
last winter was the worse winter I,ve had since I can remember ..................... now guys don,t go & count the vertical snagging in the Thames ;;
I should go now its flat-ass / but M uck it
