Why do you think the DNR has to stock walleye in every walleye lake now including Blue Ridge?

Here is your answer:

Bluebacks are the sword of death for walleye and white bass.

And they hammer largemouth bass populations as well.

Its one possible reason the largemouth bass population crashed at Lake Nottley.

Walleye spawn in shoals in rivers, so BB shouldn't hurt the walleye spawn.

My friend there are several places I fish the walleye spawn so far up river I have to drag my kayak where I can catch blue back herring with a minnow bucket net.

I high doubt eggs or fry survive. Its why the white bass are basically done in lanier.

Bluebacks were introduced illegally, DNR didn't stock them.

The same geniuses who thought that introducing spotted bass to every lake in the area would help them make money off their tournaments also thought that introducing bluebacks would be a great idea. It wasn't.

Was there ever any consequences for them doing this?

Bluebacks and Alabama bass do make for great tournaments and thats all that matters, right?

Time to go on the "invasive species" rant again.

So, if folks had not been sneaking an invasive species
(Blue Backs) to catch LAND LOCKED Stripes (that don't belong here),
we wouldn't be having this conversation.

When the white perch catch on, and they are here, it's pretty much over for everything
except big blues and flatheads (flat heads are not native either) but they do eat good.
