I even found a few beds where my BG that were 2 inches added last fall have already spawned. 3/4 Acre South Georgia Pond, 1,500 BG/RES; LMB coming soon Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do.

Then I plan to put the feeder out on the dock. 3/4 Acre South Georgia Pond, 1,500 BG/RES; LMB coming soon Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. Most powerful words ever spoken.
