We have been fishing the BG and they are very healthy, as are the Bass. But, they are hitting the bare jighead after the small tubetail has been pulled off, very aggressive. IMHO I think they are about to get out of control based on the fact I have been targeting the bass at times and not caught them. I know I'm not the fisherman I once was but it's kinda like riding a bike.
Bluegill is my target fish for the pond as they are my favorite to eat. I caught several last weekend with the majority being the first off spring of the originals (My guess). And maybe 8 of the original and keeping them in a wire basket for eating later this week. I have been throwing the smaller ones back but believe I have a place to transfer them if you guys think I'm crazy for throwing them back, I actually know better. So let me have it, Ouch!
I don't want to throw them on the bank for fear the Raccoons will become a problem, and right now one is a problem.
I want the bass for the sport fishing and Bluegill check. I believe I might be able to trade a neighbor some Bass for BG as they have an abundance of Bass and Crappie but no forage for them. I'm wondering if a doz would be to many. They would be easier to control by hook and line if the BG start to dissappear.
Thanks Guys, we'll get through this.
