Re: Lionfish
Don't know why y'all are so worried about them since the world is going to end this month. I'm gonna go down to the beach in a couple of days and give away all my money (won't take long), so everybody come on down and get some. Think I'll hang onto my fishing tackle until the very end and try to take it with me---there may be fish down there.

After the freshwater snakeheads eat all the bass, they will migrate south to eat the lionfish.
Honestly, I am not sure Tom. But your speculation has merit as recent rains would have brought an influx of nutrients into eastern LL and a subsequent increase in macroscopic life feeding on that...
Rain/Red minnows shortage this...
