I install aeration diffusers strategically in larger bodies of water just to congregate fish. Most aeration companies do not market their products for this purpose, but I think there is tremendous potential there...

You are so right. The congregated fish do tend to be more agressive. My well does the same in the colder months also. I checked this morning and it was pumping out 68 degree water and alot of the fish had migrated toward that end of the pond. It sure does come in handy when the air temps are in the 30's with a 20 mph wind.
