Thanks Bill. I'll be harvesting some that are a little smaller than your 9"-12".
I'll watch the water temps, on when to stop feeding.
Thanks again for the information.
I've been watching you tube videos on filleting YP. Only a few guys take out those "Y" bones that run horizontal out from above the rib cage. Do you remove them?


12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
