Sign onto Facebook and look up Tufts Lab. Or simply use this link : I found this quite interesting and informative. You will see video captured of Gobies eating baby bass at a nest. This can be a big issue. It may be great for larger bass to eat the Gobies and get nice and big ... but the threat they pose on the success of the reproduction of the bass population may be a serious problem. In time I believe there could be potential for the opening of Bass season to be delayed so that the guards of the nests are not disturbed (as that video shows).

grimsby, I saw the thing about them not having swim bladders on tackle warehouse's site, I am sort of surprised that there aren't more deep diving crankbaits out there in goby colors, rock bumpers

That's it right there Ohio...gobies do not have swim bladders and therefore cannot get off bottom(there's a hint for all you drop shotters ) Unlike shiners and shad that require chasing which burns calories, gobies are relatively easy prey. This is why slow dragging a tube jig is so effective. Smallmouth are sight feeders as well so you know that compliments of the zebra mussels, the crystal clear water helps them locate bait from long distances. The zebras are fair though...they also help shred my flouro just to keep things even!
