hey guys i was fishing last week at a local river was having a great time catching bass off a cricket and lots of cats off of sonnys. came back a week later and the fish were no longer biting like they were.

now here is my ? the rain here have been stonrg enough to make the rivers very muddy cant see in the water at all and fish are jumping everywhere the few i caught looked to be sick?

one bass had a spot like a-- i dont know but it looked wierd

the carp were really slimy and losing most of there scales

catfish seemd a little discolored

is this stress caused by the rains and muddy water or good it be a parasite or something?

Welcome to the boards. I see this si your first post. I am from Alabama, and have not heard of such happening here. Did you report this to a game warden or someone?

thank you.

and no i havent thought i would ask ? before going to game and fish thought it might be stress from all the mudd flowing in the rivers
