No gators, but I did manage to break the shear pin in my Minn Kota electric motor. Since it is permanently attached to my pontoon boat, a bit awkward to get at. But the repair will happen.
Herbicide eliminated maybe 90 percent of visible bushy pondweed, and maybe 70 percent of american pondweed. Bushy pondweed still green & growing near bottom of deeper water, however. Wish the american pondweed were less affected. Cattails and duck potato unchanged. Pond viz declined dramatically but is gradually clearing. Smaller fish likely had a hard time when most of their cover disappeared.
Harvested 139 largemouth bass so far this year, want to take out another 60 to 90. Relative weight seems to be doing better now, larger fish very healthy. I haven't seen a hybrid striper in several months, though. Hopefully they survived the summer and will provide some great sport as things cool down.
