Been nearly three months since I stocked my 50 6-8" hsb. Use to see them feeding and also chasing small spinners up to the bank. Never have caught one but did see them on a regular basis until about two weeks ago. Have not seen them feeding (i put them in on the side I still feed on) and have not caught one. They have become more elusive than the res (cannot believe how much they have grown in a years time) I have not seen any floaters so I assume they are still in there some where but we fish the pond nearly everynight and I would have thought we would have hooked into one by now. Any thoughts? Is this just normal for hsb. The only thing I can think of is that they are gorging themselves on the thousands of yoy sunfishes that are everywhere.
