mike robinson, i'm curious about the fathead comment. were you refering to a pond with crappie? my pond doesn't have crappie. i stocked in september, bass, bluegill, and catfish and 20 pounds of fathead minnows which spawned on the wooden pallets i put out. i also have some fish feeders which throw out both sinking and floating fish feed (the sinking is 1/3 the price). i thought, hey, the more minnows, the more the bass would eat, the bigger the bass. sure, they will eat the bluegill too, but i'm not clear on the fathead comment. i was planning to put in about another 30-50 pounds of fathead minnows this spring...?good or bad idea? also, why don't christmas trees make good cover? thanks, mark
