Dark spots (not to be confused with spotted bass). You got me, can't see enough to tell anything. Since you are not right on top of 'them', I'm assuming it's some type of aquatic being.
Do you have Zebra Mussels yet?? I think they've helped our fisheries,...we've got cleaner water than we've had in years,..and the weed growth is unreal. It's all good...
Mac, I've been curious about what the long term effect has been from tha Zebra Mussels. I know that the have cleared up the water and improved the vegitation but have they been the scourge to industry and boating by clogging up the cooling intakes like was predicted when they first arrived? Has there been a sudden growth in another species that feed on the mussels?
The ecosystem has really adapted. Some of the smaller fish are actually eating the mussels, and yes there are water intakes AND discharges that have ongoing maintenance done to them due to the invasion. The amount of mussels seems to have hit a plateau.
The lake sure did change with the warming trend and the new moon.....it is taking every bit of energy I have to stay home today. There is even gas in th boat.....the temptation is STRONG....I MUST resist! lol
Nobody knows what the long term effects will be. They are already showing up in some of the TVA lakes and would bet that it would be bad for those lakes because of the dams and rivers
