absolutely. The person who stocked them in didnt clear it with the rest of the lake committee, and they all agree they dont want any. Not to mention he put way too many in for a 7.5 acre pond.
The way i see it, any pike minnows and yoy need as many bass in the lake as possible to gulp them down.
It was a little disconcerting to see the shiners that were victims of drag n drops (flag pops, only pulls out a foot or 2 of line and drops the bait) had lost so many scales and many had puncture wounds.
No matter that i get at least one or two out each time i go up there, it seems as if it is still a pretty significant problem. And now they are all old enough to spawn. ugh. but....6 down this weekend. 3 of mine, one of matt's, one at the neighbor's and one dad got on sunday.
Now adorning the dock in the form of pikecicles. -skinny

Trying to help with 7.5 Acres in the Chain of Lakes Illinois - - 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.
