I added 3 more male bluegill and my first pair of LMB last night - the bass were 8 and 10". I'm hoping to make a fish trap this weekend so I can start catching and removing bullhead from the pond which will be provided to family for flathead bait.







Visibility is still declining and the FA has started to cover about 20% of the pond - I may start raking it this weekend.





I pulled some of the submerged weeds which appear to be curly leaf pondweed.


I've also spotted some american pondweed mixed it. Water temp was 63 degrees in 1 FOW near the south bank
