Infested with rats

Rat reds that is . I went further upriver than last week and couldn’t hardly fish for bream and largemouth for all the small spotail. I haven’t seen this many since it was legal to keep them. I hope they hang around until they grow up some.Kinda fun on light tackle,would be great for kids.

Fished a small tournament a couple of Saturdays ago and we must have caught 100 of them! I, too, love to see them!

I see it as a good problem to have as well! Thanks for the report

How far up river? I fished out of Cypress Gardens on the Cooper for bass Saturday and didn’t see any out there.

Nucor and GD yesterday and was in YH creek last week. I even checked stump’s bream hole ,yep they’re there also.I’m optimistic to see how this plays out,hopefully no gill nets will be put out.Maybe it’s like this every year and I just didn’t notice.
