Zebra Mussels?


Recommended Posts

I thought id ask you guys from NY how the zebra mussels have effected your fishing. Both Ice and open water.

Looks like they've made there way to MN now so im wondering if they changed the way you fish now? I know they clean the lakes up big time at least visability, has that made you to down size your lures and lines? Im just looking for a heads up on what were going to have to do once they spread further than they are already.

Your weedlines will end up deeper and more extensive. The fish will relocate to the deeper edge, but there are always fish that go where they want, eat whatever size, and could care a less about what the magazines and books say.

The zebra mussels can and will be eaten by different species of fish wink. When the zebras are in the infant stage carp, sturgon,drum and I have seen them in perch and I am sure other fish eat them too.I think you will see some changes but not alot keep doing what you are doing to catch fish thats all you can do.I would rather have zebras mussels than VHS,Round goby's and those dam asian carp who knows whats next.

Just do not listen to CNYFrank...He has weedlines in his Arse blush His adjustment to weedlines is to downsize the Kastmaster, due to water clarity cry

Take it for what it is mabr...it has it's ups/downs...and in the result of anything, we as fisherman WILL adjust. Now, run out and take stock in the Kastmaster Corp. whistle

Take care and build gold Kastmaster Slippers shocked

Franky is right...water clarity may change the weedlines and other variables...just keep chucking Gold Spinnerbaits and the Green Carp and Sewer Perch will come blush

Franky...call me, I have a hot bite in mind, if your in? It's near the Big "O" and close enough to do a night bite...if you get my drift. Take care and talk to you soon!!!
