I've been away from the pond for 12 days because of some vacation time at White River Ark for a little trout fishing and some smallmouth fishing at Bull Shoals. So, when I got back to the pond I hand feed some Aquamax lmb and watched the hsb and some lmb thrash the water as they feed. I also watched the cnbg feed when the TH feeder set off a 2 second throw. I saw different sized cnbg from 4" to 10" swimming around along with one lmb in the 3lb range in the mix. I did not see any TFS in the feeder area where I will see them on occasion and I did not see any ripples areas across the pond surface that is caused by the TFS. I am wondering if the TFS have been decimated by the hsb and the northern lmb? It's time to run the sein, which may be hard to do because of the American pondweed that now grows in the shallow areas of the pond. I may have to resort to a cast net. It is survey time
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
