Well we got the planned fishing expedition off on schedule and the rain came on schedule as well. Both arrived at the pond at the same time. The boys couldn't wait and were funny to watch trying to cast in the wind, with gear new to them. The storm blew over in about 20 minutes and we caught the first of 4 red bellied pacu. We got a lot of bites but not many hook ups. I switched bait and started catching tilapia, again lots of bites but few hook ups. We caught 4, one, 10" and 1/2 lb, and 3 about 8". The 4 pacu were a little larger going 11 3/4" 1 1/2 lb and three around 10-11". The tilapia were stocked at 1 1/2" on March 8 the pacu on March 24 at 1 3/4" The photo if it works is of two of the 10-11" pacu.
Oh yeah, the bait? cucumber of course for the first 2 pacu then cabbage for the other pacu and the tilapia, probably almost everybody knew that, right?
