I have a 2 1/2 acre pond and i love to go out in the jon boat its a 14 ft flat bottom with a cheap walmart trolling motor and feed the fish. I have alot of coontail in my pond so i refer to it as my aquarium now because u can see like 6 to 8 feet down. Its cool to see all the different kinds of fish in the pond when i go out in it. I usually take the boat out to the middle and feed the HSB. Its hilarious to see the HSB start flying by underneath the boat in a school. They know its dinner time when they see that boat. I see a few LMB when i go out but not as many as i should. Question is will the majority of the lmb swim away from the boat as soon as they see it coming? The pond is 17 foot in the middle so you cant see down to the bottom everywhere.
