JPS...

Very interesting on survival rates of first year fish and how they related to pond size. Thanks for posting that info. You were right..I did like the read!

Great looking fish in those pics. I was out at the property this evening but I didn't have a chance to check water temps. Had a really late swarm of bees pop up that I gathered right at dark and got them situated on the property after dark. I was able to check the trap at the sandcreek bridge and added a small boost of Crays to the pond. Looks like a BG found it's way in the trap as well and the Crays were not willing to share space. Typically, I just use fish food (MVP) in the trap. I've been trapping in small pools left from the drying creeks with pretty good results on overnight soaks.

All look like they will be a nice addition of food for the LMB or possibly a YP which I haven't seen this year. Hoping there are still a few running around in the pond. Puts our crawfish add to almost 4lbs with hopes to add some more in.
