I agree completely about having less visibility. The fish are definitely less spooky and easier to catch.

I just went down and threw some feed. The water has a bit more "milky" tinge to it when you're standing over it from the turbidity, they fed just fine. I may add a little more dye, but I think I'll wait until all this rain we're supposed to get Saturday passes thru first.

Do you find your phytoplankton blooms are less dense since you started using dye?

Nice looking BOW...BTW!!

UPDATE: My new coffee mug visibility tester says 18". Most of that loss is from detritus being kicked up by the aerator as it is usually less than that after it shuts off, but starts settling afterward. I'll measure again in the morning while its on.
