I freaked out when I checked the surface temp and the thermometer read 99 degrees!!
Tried to feed but what few fish showed up wouldn't hardly touch the pellets. So it was time to take action. The boat (Surface drive mud boat) was sitting right there so I got it started, set it on high idle and dropped the prop in the pond. In less than 5 minutes I had a good current circling the pond and the temp had dropped to 94. Another 5 minutes or so and it was down to 88, so I shut it down. Didn't think it was healthy to drop it too much to fast.
The visibility was naturally reduced to about a foot. I'm sure I increased the DO considerably tho.
Got so excited I've misplaced my dang keys!! Hopefully they didn't fall in the pond...lol. I'm such a doofuss sometimes.
