I have the aerator in about 6' of water. It's about 20' off shore. I was worried about this but last year had no winter kill using the same setup.

I guess I'll have to set it in shallower water and perhaps not run it constantly next winter. I unplugged the aerator last night. Hope I end up with some of the bluegills left.

It's funny that I don't see any perch or bass carcasses or maybe I will later.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone. I appreciate it.
