Here are 25,000+ oxygenated healthy 2.5 inch fatheads ready to spawn and turn Bremer Pond into a food factory for the incoming game fish.
The bags are a thing to wrestle that makes salt bags seem like fun. They are heavier and with the water and fatheads sloshing around, it is a load! It didn�t help that it was again the windiest day of the year, here in Minnesota.
I put the bags in the water to acclimate the fatheads to pond temperature. Temperature readings after the bags drifted to the other end of the pond were pond water 54 degrees and the bags-o-fatheads 57 degrees. That seemed about right so I let them go one bag at a time and they happily scattered in every direction.
I would think their happiness was a result of leaving the bright light of the clear plastic bag.
I fear that happiness will be relatively short lived.
