JaxBasser Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Went to the usual spot and it is almost completely wiped out. 2/3 of what was lake is now land and what is left is split into two sections with fish trapped in both. It was about a 10 acre lake but even full the average depth was around 2-3 feet. Tons of fun to wade fish though and loads of bass. I just found this spot a few months ago and it is LOADED with big fish, now i'm afraid they are all going to die. All I see swimming around are Gar and Mudfish. I saw two dead bass floating. Quote
Missouribassman95 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Could you should catch as many bass as you can and then transport them to another pond? Quote
JaxBasser Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 Have any pics that sucks man Before After Picture #2 of before and #3 of the after tell it the best. Both pics were taken less than one month apart in almost the same spot. Quote

Super User RoLo Posted June 20, 2011 Super User Posted June 20, 2011 The fact that you've caught adult bass is evidence that your pond has survived several dry seasons. I wouldn't rush to judgment, because Florida is now entering the rainy season (Jun - Jul - Aug) and if anyone has a magic wand, it's Mother Nature Roger Quote
JaxBasser Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 I'm just curious as to how much water it takes to keep a decent number of fish alive. Every day the amount of water shrinks more and more. There may not be anything but a puddle left before it rains. I'm gonna go check up on it tomorrow to see how it's looking. Quote
