I had been wanting to do another trap survey so I loaded some dry dog food in a bottle and did three separate soaks of my cloverleaf trap in different spots. Each run was only about 15 minutes at approximately 5 foot deep. The first sample resulted in nine 1.5" BG, the second only one about the same size and the third had one 2" GSF, one BG around 3" and seven more 1.5" BG. I guess all my bigger fish are hanging out in deeper water or suspended out in the middle. Feeding has been way off since this last cold snap, even tho the surface temp is still 66*.


.10 surface acre pond, 10.5 foot deep. SW LA. The epitome of a mutt pond. BG, LMB, GSF, RES, BH, Warmouth, Longear Sunfish, Gambusia,Mud Minnows, Crappie, and now shiners!!...I subscribe!!
