Justin and Walter of Bob Lusk Outdoors stopped by last week for a quick electro-survey. I really enjoyed chatting with both gentlemen. Unfortunately, I paid for a double dose of bad news. As I speculated, my bass are gone. I also somehow got hybrid blue gills in my pond.
Everyone of course was puzzled. Best guess is a predator problem (BIRDS!). I've really tried to take a low maintenance approach to this pond and figured that fish have evolved over the years to survive bird predation. Of course, my bass likely never got a chance since they don't spawn for a year.
I still want the Camelot Bell or similar genetics because my intentions are BIG bass. I think it's too hot right now to risk stocking more bass. Todd Overton said he doesn't have the space to grow out his Legacy bass this fall. I'm hoping Justin can find a candidate to supply me with bass this fall. I'm sure someone is overpopulated around here.
