I was determined that i didnt want any turtles, except small ones to eat any dead fish etc. I "relocated"(to turtle heaven) a couple large red sliders and saw a couple eating nearly all the fish chow. I dont live close to the pond, so have no control of this. I fished the pond first time last wk. It has only bream and common shiners I think. I was fishing for bream with small shiners and "BUBBA" my new name for the large slider that would not look at the shiner I was dragging right in front of him, but would follow my little iridescent yellow cork nearly to shore, only to look up passively at where this potential treat might have come from. After a few eye to eye contacts, needless to say BUBBA will be a permanent resident and will probably grow quickly and die young due to over indulgence in the fish chow.
