Thanks Cecil. The pond is doing pretty well, the YP are in the 12-15'' range, I added 4 WE last yr and the aeration system Bill helped me with is going strong. Still muddy water but with my clay it always will be. Last yr my 3 yr old grandson hooked up with a 16" HSB, bout lost the pole a couple of times but finally got it up on the bank. After we put it back he said " Pa Pa, can we catch some little fish now? Have your folks left to Florida yet and are you planning a visit down there? I'm leaving the 30th of this month. Take care and don't lose anything through the ice this yr. Bob-O
PS You could probably sell that picture, it is just weird enough to be cool.
