New feeder working fine. Friend & his ten year old grandson fished with success on a relatively mild day for this time of year, had a lot of fun. Kept one 9 inch bluegill for the table, along with half a dozen undersize LMB. Caught & released several giant CNBG, including my PB female.
TP were thick at the feeders, something I had not observed in previous years. Several had quite beautiful rose-tipped fins. Hope they make lots of babies for LMB & HSB to dine upon!
Bushy pondweed growing fast now, shallow areas are getting tough to fish. Despite 90 lbs of fertilizer earlier in the year, water clarity around 40 inches. May have to call for herbicide treatment again, though I don't really want to do so.
