The 4" HBG are starting to come around to feeding and seem to be more aggressive with the larger Junior floating (3.5mm (0.14") diameter pellets, but also peck at the smaller Starter #4. The feed seems to get more attention near and over the beds. That may be because it's shallower in that area and I can actually see the fish where in deeper water I think the fish are waiting for feed to sink before nabbing it in the darker depths.

At any rate, the FHM have reproduced even more, the HBG are on beds and I wonder if I should discourage their spawning by raking the beds so that I don't get too much forage this year. The amount of FHM's is amazing! No signs of the HSB, but they are there...somewhere.


Fish on!,
