I don't know if anyone here fished or fishes what was once known as the Yellow Cotton Bay but that area has been dead for a couple of years now. In the 60s/70s/80s/& early 90's YCB was awesome for specks.

Sir you are correct about the major land loss in yellow cotton bay, but we still catch an over abundance of specs and reds there, especially in the fall.
Last year was one of the best years that I can remember!
It won't be long before its all gone though!!!

Specks like water, less land = more water
