Hey Thanks, CB.

Lake is very clear. VERY clear. The weekend i was up there was a lot of sediment floating around, lots of people adding sand to their beaches. But all in all you can see straight down to the bottom at 3', and at 5' you can still make it out. 6' is where it starts to get hard to see what is going on down there.

The Pike are young, added to the pond by a resident without permission of the HOA last november, they were about 18" when they first started getting caught, now they are getting caught at between 20-25".

Yeah, A buddy of mine had a fish finder on the back of the rowboat, all of the fish were deep, very deep, and we went there to get them, just couldn't get them to bite.

Another tidbit....swarms of minnows everywhere (whenever the sun wasn't directly overhead). Perhaps the predator fish just had their fill?

Going back up to help dad stain his deck in 2 weeks, i'll give it another shot for a few hours then.

Thanks
Skinny

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
