Fertilized Lake Brings Bang To Ornery Black Bass
In Crooked Lake at Camp McQuarrie near Ocala Forest a fertilization program transformed a nearly barren lake into a bass bonanza. Three tons of fertilizer were added in 1949 and 16 tons by 1950, boosting plant life and plankton, yielding about 700 pounds of fish per acre versus 20 to 30 earlier. Biologist Howard Bissland notes Florida’s 12 month growing season and urges continued regular fishing to maintain balance.
