I bought some fish feed from TSC 2 days ago. Went down to the dock in the evening and tossed it out, not much action. I left the aerator on overnight for the first time that night.
Yesterday evening I went down with my camera, 4 inch to 8 inch perch everywhere, along with a few bullhead and a few small sunfish.
I threw out some feed and the water started to boil. No idea what was taking it but something was.
Over the next hour a lot of fish were showing up on the camera.
I think the fish like the aeration!
The small BG in my pond really like the aeration. We have seen scores of them around and floating up in the middle of the bubble column.
Also see predators taking advantage of them. I was fishing from the bank last evening about sundown. Every once in a while would see a big swirl right next to the bubble column. I suspect a LMB was getting its supper.
