I figured they were bluegill....but seem to have a horizontal line down their back... Any input as to LMB or CNBG? Sean Last edited by Boburk; 04/24/16 09:29 PM.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!" If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

I can look around shallows and see the water shimmering in pods of those things,100s of them. Never see BG at all or tilapia babies.

Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 6,080 Likes: 1 Boone County Illinois I see that most/all my photobucket links in my posts no longer work as well. The danger of not being able to post actual images on the forum and having to rely on links to another website. Hopefully, someone will fix it. Last edited by Bill D.; 04/25/16 08:46 PM.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Aquarium net was a no go for me. They swim away when they see me coming. And I think they're too small for my minnow trap. Sean

We are lucky to see a week of 90 all year. That's kind of the trade off. One year we had a 100 days of 100+ temps. I think the norm right now is 80ish. Sean

Well you guys can share some heat any day now. Only 7C as a high today here looking forward to 12C tomorrow.
