Default Re: Need Smallie Help

I was just at that park last week and didn't catch anything but Rock Bass.
It's possible I just suck and couldn't find a bass in a bucket, but I've always done well there in the past.

Something appears to have changed there. I didn't even see the juvenile Smallmouths in the shallows snapping at bugs like I have in past summers.

A while back, I read an article that the Smallmouths in the Delaware River were being affected by a disease called Columnaris. Perhaps this Columnaris Disease has signifigantly reduced the population of Smallmouths there. I don't know.
