It was in Alabama Outdoors. I'm not disputing the article. Lake Martin is one of the clearest lake in the south. The most infertile area is around Kowaliga and the most fertile is in the Elkahatchee area. I go along with that, I've always had better luck at the upper end of the lake fishing.

I like to stripe fish and like having the stripe in the lake, it just makes me wonder why they would put an eating machine like stripe in a lake that has a hard time supporting the present fish. The article said that according to a study, our fish grow slower because of the lack of food. Do they stock shad? If not, why not? Even though fertilizing the lake would make it murkier, wouldn't that be the thing to do? I understand a lot of it has to do with recreation and making everyone happy, the economy and so on.

I know they stocked stripe well before this study was done, possibly before we could even measure the fertility of a lake but does anyone know about them stocking bait fish and fertilizing?
