Sometimes, when you can't get to your pond as much as you'd like, it's good to have friends go to your pond.

Here is PB Member wivell's comments about Sunday, May 9, 2010, at my pond:

"Sunil,

We managed to cull some bullheads yesterday.
I think the boys counted them - 32 or thereabouts.
Braden caught 2 stripers. One was about 21 inches with huge girth -
probably 15" girth.
Austin caught the Channel Cat - nearly 20 inches.
He has a broken wrist at the moment and decided he didn't want catfish
slime on his cast, hence my mugshot with the channel cat.

It was cold - 43 degrees. Had a small fire going in the "truck rim"
fire pit to keep the boys warm.
The pond was as full as I have ever seen it, water a bit cloudy.
No bass biting at all.
Caught about 10 perch and lots of bluegill as well. Some of the blue
gill appeared to have a bit of pumpkinseed in them.
