Dave, not sure on the predators yet. Have had about 15 cats and maybe 30 bass float since Monday. Was better today, saw no new bass. Yesterday evening saw a bass about 8 to 10" sitting on a point across from my dock, he looked ok but can't tell. I will throw a little food in the evening for a while to see before I re-stock. Saw a couple of hits on top of the water this evening.

Cecil, thanks for the advise on the shad. Threadfins are the only ones I was thinking about. Will probably over stock a little with the bluegills to expect some mortality from the larger predator fish.

I do believe the worst is over. Have not seen but a couple of the larger bluegills that have died. Sure there are a few more than we have seen. Buzzards are doing a job cleaning the edge of the pond. Most dead fish are now against the dam due to brisk southern breezes we've had for the past couple of days. Coons are also helping with the cleanup. I expect in a couple of days that there will be few left. Thanks for the input.
