The yearly battle with Filamentous Algae has begun in my neighborhood pond. About 25 minutes with the rake and I put a dent in it.

Now, it's off the hook at my neighbor, Lee's pond. Bluegill, Yellow Perch, and HSB are obvious takers of feed. Water clarity is not so great, but I'm pretty sure we also have SMB feeding, but they are so fast it's hard to be 100% sure. If there's some channel cats feeding, they are not doing it the typical way of vacuuming the surface.

Some of the Yellow Perch bully the Bluegill when going for a pellet.

The action was so hot for a few minutes that I felt I was in the Soak Zone at Seaworld!!!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!!!
