Over the past 2 weekends, I have been doing some work.
I added 3000 golden shiners of various sizes, 3-5 inches
I have relocated another 10 bass that were under 12 inches and skinny. I did catch a few that were pretty healthy and released them back. I attached a picture of a 1 lb 8oz, 13 1/2 inches that was pretty healthy. My goal is to take 20 out total, I am at 15 now.
I have also switched back to Optimal Feed now that I can get it as Endurance Feed now.
I added 6 spawning discs filled with pea gravel made from round plastic snow sleds (I forgot to photo those)
Sunk my last 3 Christmas Trees
Added 6 more PVC trees (built with 4x4s and PVC as pictured)
And went bluegill fishing. I could easily have caught as many as I wanted, but did catch about 20 of all sizes from about 3 inches up to the big one in the picture (8 inches and 7 oz) this was probably one of the bigger ones I stocked last year that was 3-4 inches when stocked.
I feel like I am headed in the right direction now.
