I ran the cormorants off yesterday and again this morning, lots of them along with about 50 ducks. Found several dead Bg dead and floating sizes were 3 to 7". Time to declare war.
Went from 2 geese before the freeze to 24 to 4 now. Pretty, but they quickly learn to eat the fish food I've started up again.
About a dozen cormorants around the pond, we chase them off as best we can but they return as soon as we depart. I've strung twine all across the forage pond and have not seen them there, though it has not deterred the geese. Still unsure if any of the CNBG survived the cold there.
Trout and hybrid stripers very active, we caught a good number of them. Bass not quite as active but doing okay. No BG or CNBG caught or observed anywhere, they seem to come shallow & feed later than the other fish. Green tint to water, but viz easily 36 inches.
