Bass Lures

So do you think it’s really polluted in our lakes? I think it may be and that might be having a huge effect on all the fish. I mean I remember when you could catch 50 smallmouth bass in one day out on Kent Lake or Lake St. Clair. It might be taking a toll on the fish. Some people call me nuts and I call them naive, I mean lets sit down for awhile and think about it.

I have read over the years in newspapers where lawn fertilizer has made it’s way into our lakes. PCB levels high from commercial spills. Waste water treatment plants pouring sewage out into the lake when they get overfilled by the rain. Litter by offshore people and boaters. Then there’s all the gas from all the boats. This is just the stuff I though up off the top of my head in the past five minutes. I’m sure there’s a ton of other pollution I have touch based on.

I also know that there’s a pile of trash floating around in the ocean double of the size of Texas. And how about the dead zones in Lake Erie and other inland lakes? Define dead zones! Dead zones are hypoxic (low-oxygen) areas in the world’s oceans, the observed incidences of which have been increasing since oceanographers began noting them in the 1970s. These occur near inhabited coastlines, where aquatic life is most concentrated. Pretty scary huh? Or am I just nuts?

Well I guess we’ll see in 10 or 20 years. I really hope it’s not bad!

Then there’s the dams. I just watched a special on discovery or history channel on these God for saken things. They are killing off all types of species of fish. The Sturgeon and paddle fish maybe extinct in a few years if we’re not careful. And they have been here since prehistoric time, it’s almost like we are a parasite just as Agent Smith described us in the hit movie “The Matrix.” I just typed in the keywords “dead zone” in the google search engine and noticed a ton of Salmon articles coming up also. So it’s affecting that species of fish too. I swear, if we’re not careful we’ll have no fish living in our waterways.

Or am just exaggerating? It’s better to be safe than sorry right? That’s why we should definitely be doing something about these things as a whole.
