Cool. I'm a patient man. I know that the forage will eventually thin out a bit and then, if we're all correct, the LMB fishing will pick back up. And, those babies will be healthier than ever!
Meanwhile, I've got other ponds I can fish that don't have that "problem".
It's all good!
Al - I tend to agree with you that you're okay...helps me feel better about my place too! As Travis said - matching the "hatch", or preferred forage size, shape and color in your presentation could be very critical. I'd think your surviving GSH fry from this Spring/Summer should be what, around 2-4" by now? I would think any small plastics would work like flukes, tubes and paddle or curly tail grubs in a silver/blue silver/black. Any luck with those?
One more thing - isn't Athens the birthplace of REM? I understand it's a very cool college town/city?
