I had bribed the bass with Louisiana crawdads to leave the bluegill alone. I had not seen a bass in three weeks. I assume they were chasing six pounds of crawdads all over the bottom. Today the bass showed up again, stalking the minnows and BG YOY, which already range a half-inch up to two inches. Other than weather being mighty hot and humid, life is good! Placing submerged plants and slices of XMas tree around the BG spawning beds for cover and "looks." Re-learned an old lesson today...a deer pulled a plant from the water and cut it clean off. Years ago a deer pulled my prized lily out of the koi pond and ate most of it, but spit out the blooms, and the plant refused to bloom anymore that year.
