Took friends on a boat trip around the pond, particularly the island. We saw two areas where CNBG were bedding, a third area almost certainly but too windy to see clearly. Great time, exactly what I wanted the pond to be, along with fun place for kids to catch lots of fish.
Tested feeders for 3 seconds, and all feed gone within 3-5 minutes. Now feeding twice a day, 6 seconds each time, from three feeders. That's only 3 pounds of Optimal per day, think I'll double it in a few days.
Look forward to some TP and GSH stocking this week, along with a small number of breeding size CNBG for the forage pond. No aerator yet because no electricity, so will wait until next year for TP in forage pond.
