Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations an el dorado sunfish pond

Intervention!

c'mon gw, i know you got a WM ballad you sing to yer little guys in secret, lets hear it.

i'm thinking of starting a new website called "little bluegill.com" you think there'd be any interest?

Dave, I read poetry to MY fish...

...and this is the sweet little fish I like:

God bless Vespucciland!

ok, i guess not, but that never stopped me before...

I'm definitely interested. I would have commented but I was on a dream fishing trip to the Snake River in Nebraska for native rainbows.

Ahhh, the GSA National Anthem. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

I could be a charter member. It seems that I have a knack for catching puny bluegill.

yippee skippee

No need for a caption. I could easily make you out in the image. You're the one with a peg-leg.

I see lots of pretty colors.....

What color and for how long fills the pond ?

Those pretty colors are the embers from last yaers fires.

i'd like to forget that saga rainman. we actually had a dim reminder today, cal-fire was conducting controlled burns up on hwy 88 and we were smoked in bad all day today.

thanks guys. i'm not sure i understand those colors ewest, its off a noaa site. i think red is light rain, purple = heavy rain. its comin down pretty good right now. we are expecting a few inches between now and monday, a nice shot in the arm for the pond. however, we will need about 8 cumulative inches to get the creeks flowing. once the creek is flowing the pond fills in a couple days which probably wont happen until into december. nevertheless, 2 to 3 acre inches would be some good volume added to the old water.

i hadnt fed in a while since that scare a few weeks ago. our eagle lake fishing group gave me all the leftover nightcrawlers from the recent trip (about 30 containers each w/ a dozen worms) so i fed those tonight along with about 3 pounds of aquamax, the fish are fat and happy this evening waiting for their drink now.

JHAP is driving up tomorrow, anybody have any words of wisdom for him? i'll be seein him on saturday.

Remind him that if you sneeze while you're driving at 70 mph, that you'll travel over 300 feet with your eyes closed.

Avoid the route that goes through the place where they threw bricks through the window.

Never order hamburger in a drugstore.

A watched pot never boils.

If your head catches on fire, never ever put it out with a hammer. It never ends well.

Club sandwiches… not seals.

i am the master of hijacking my own thread am i not?

not a problem to get it back on track anytime, in the meantime..........i love it, keep em comin....JHAP and JWHAP will get a big kick out of it.

What about the rain ?

I'm proof of that statement!

yeah, D - how much rain?

thanks for asking guys, its a pretty big (doppler) bark, not much bite......as of this morning we are at 0.8-inches but every fractional inch is better than none.

supposed to keep going all day w/ scattered showers through Monday, so i am still hopeful we'll end up w/ 2-3 inches.
