After 15 inches of rain over the last 3 weeks I've been able to clear a spot for the beach.
I took the level down 32 inches and the water temps are slowly rising but still fine..
I've cleaned out some alley ways and tons of other chara for the bass to get at the BG and they have been hammering them for days now but just not enough bass because of over fishing while I was gone. 14 Bass counted but every size is well represented...
Also the drawn down has killed a band of chara 8-15 wide all the way around the pond and I've removed some cattails and much more of it is dying fast..
I've also learned that my pond has a billion snails that live in the chara beds and any RES is going to be very happy after the refill..
I've trapped out 500 3-5 inch BG and still have many left... The little BG are growing fast and catching up in size with the stunted BG in just 1.5 months of feeding..
Here a few pic's from today... Some bass, BG and some of the other work I've done...
