ALGAE BLOOM

[Jason Elmes]

Hey Rich, I was on Crystal on 5/17 and there is a bunch of algae. There wasn't any, or very little, a couple of days ago. The fish seem to have moved too. Where do the bass go when there is a bloom? It was the first time I was skunked this year. Is it usually harder to locate fish during the bloom?

Thanks.

Algae can throw things into a funk for a day or two, but it should level off and bass should resume their feeding. They probably slid a little deeper momentarily or just hunkered down at first.
