a couple of black garbage bags with a rock in them and some line up to a float
Someone needs to call DFW and see if they know anything.
Oh........ I'm pretty sure I'm against that. How you going to get that trash/pollution back after you drop it in?
I know some of you are going to disagree with this but Lake Lowell has been over fished for Perch. A couple of years ago we had back to back years with really hard freezes where ice fishing lasted for months. The summer before while bass fishing you could hardly fish for bass without having Perch hit your bait. That winter, I saw people take 3 sometimes 4, five gallon buckets full of perch and those were just the people I saw. The next year, after the first long Ice fishing season there was a noticeable difference in the Perch hitting your bait, not often. The next year, ice fishing lasted longer than normal and people still caught a few Perch but not near the numbers like the year before. Last year while bass fishing, I never had one Perch hit my baits that I knew of. Now, it sounds like hardly anyone's catching Perch. I know Perch go in cycles and I hope that's the case but the lake isn't that big and that deep. The deeper spots are near the dams and have been pounded for years. I don't think Lowell has very much, if any, cover in the winter months for bait fish. I for one would prefer a limit or no ice fishing. It's no easy to over fish Lowell. I love to ice fishing and it is real nice to be able to fish Lowell because it's so close. But I'm afraid it will take a long time to get back to were it was a few years ago.
