..............Bill has been on Bass Lake for 20+ years and has been the president of the homeowner's association and is very involved with the lake. He is an avid water skierand only knows about fishing from the committee and neighborhood reports...........
The underline part in my opinion, is your answer on the cause of the bottom slime and poor fishing results. Maybe its caused by a chemical buildup I don't know. One thing I would bet on, the slime would not be there if every year they didn't kill the weeds so they can run their speed boats and jet skis weed free.
Just like Culver, Bass Lake owner's money talks, money runs politicians, and politicians run the DNR. So getting the DNR to reduce weed kill is not gona happen. I know this for a fact, back in the 90's thru emails I personally complained to the Culver Lake "
Environmental" Council President and the DNR about Weed kill. All I got from Pres. Tiongson was lame excusses and the DNR said they'd look into illegal weed kill.
You don't have this problem in Northern states, they respect the fisherman.
