Weather To Blame For Mixed Bass Fishing In Southern Illinois
In a Southern Illinoisan report, anglers note Crab Orchard Lake produced 440 fish from 284 bass during a recent tournament, far below the expected double. Weather, especially cold fronts and falling barometers, is cited as the key factor affecting bass feeding and activity across Crab Orchard Lake and nearby waters like Lake of Egypt and Little Grassy.
