Got up to my main 4.5 acre pond in Somerset, PA, last Sunday after not having been there since about October '23. All was well, with no signs of abuse by locals.

Fished for only about 30 minutes and caught one small Black Crappie on a fathead minnow. Had several bits, but didn't land anything else.

Feed is going strong in the main neighborhood pond, and I expect to see YOY LMB soon.


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
