The lake is almost full again and water is about 2-3 feet in the arm that I have netted off. A little over a week ago, I put in 225 HSB (50/acre) and 1.5 lbs of fathead minnows in this area. They were 6-8 inches.
We went to the fishery and they put them in 5 bags for us and we drove straight to our farm.
I've been throwing a few handfuls of Aquamax 800 at them the last few days, but have yet to see any results. The food just floats on the top. I'm going to (hopefully) get my feeder going this week.
Here are a few photos of my helper, who I picked up at noon from preschool. He was pretty excited (not sure if it was because he got off school early or we were going to a place that had LOTS of fish)and when we were at the fishery, I let him stay in the back of my pickup with the first bag of HSB. I was off to get the others bags and when I came back he had tears running down his face and all of the HSB were flopping in the bed of my truck! He took the rubberband off the bag. We grabbed them all and threw them back in the bag and the guys at Raccoon Valley, filled it back up with water and oxygen. All was well.
