Cecil, there definitely a lot of very small swimming pool ponds around me and they all claim to have 1/4 ac ponds, but in reality are quite short of that. I walked the pond a couple hours after dark and seen 3 or 4 perch up in the shallows just sitting there. I wonder if they were bloated up on FHM, lol. Also crayfish were everywhere! Pretty cool to see all the life in the pond at night. Seen tons of crays, frogs and endless amounts of FHM.

Feed trained SMB are definitely high on the list for next fall Essup. Know any body that could raise some up for me next spring? Im just real nervous next fall will come and SMB will be hard to get a hold of. Nobody I talk to can really quarantee theyll have them...

CJ, pics of the LCS are already up on this thread back on page 4, but heres what they looked like going in.

Unfortunately, one died so I got to see what size they looked like about a month ago. They are hitting the pellets nightly with the GSH.

TJ, Hearing of your success with the crayfish from back in 2008 and only stocking 36 makes me feel real good about my situation. Sounds like I went a little above and beyond with my setup...LOL
