Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Show off your catch HSB were a surpise this past weekend...

We have stocked a few HSB in the pond over the years, but very rarely catch them. I just assumed many of them had died off. So Saturday I throw out some fish feed to see if the usual blue gill and catfish feeding frenzy would happen. Zilch! I figured dead of winter and temps in the forties it was no surprise. I return to the cabin and about 30 mins later getting close to sunset, from the picture window I start seeing some significant swirls on the surface. I thought maybe otters? So I walk out and start casting a mirror stick bait from the dock. Boom! Nice HSB, then a few minutes later another, and a few mins later another. Think I caught 5 or 6 HSB within 25 mins. Nice finish to a day...where did this come from? (Thanks George)
