I recently spent about 15 minutes just standing in the trees on a high spot at the edge of my pond. I saw the large male bluegills trying and failing to defend the nest, a new snake that I didn't know about and a couple of large turtles that have remained hidden. Four ducks landed and stayed until I moved. As usual, no bass activity. I still maintain that poachers have clobbered my bass but they couldn't have caught them all. I'll try again.
