My little mutt pond is in a residential area with houses in close proximity to my 1.5 acre lot. The house north of me has a security light about 50 feet from my property line as well as my security light. Both are throwing at least minimal light onto the pond surface.

What I've noticed lately is that regardless of the time of day or night, there is always some level of surface feeding, but I'm really surprised at how active my panfish are at night. My LMB haven't spawned yet, so I have to attribute this to the GSF. I'm not real versed on their feeding habits, but I'm almost certain BG are daytime feeders (my understanding anyway).

There's seldom a moment when you don't see the ripples of a fish surfacing, day or night.

.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!!
