GlenB, I just stocked my new 4 acre with 1000 channels, 800 Coppernose, 600 Red Ear and 22 lbs of Fathead minnows about the same time as you and haven't seen any activity either except the minnows. Since I know they are alive maybe the fish made it. I was concerned but everyone tells me to wait to spring also to see what I have. Can't hardly wait.
