Since i have been feeding my catfish I have been seen more and more turtles. Two weeks ago there were two. Last week there were five. Yesterday there were 12-14 turtles chowing down on catfish feed. I have started feeding the catfish only once a day in the AM and taking a break one or two days a week as Boss Lusk recommends! In the evening at dusk I have been trying to get my CNBG to feed with little success. I wrote that off as being too much forage in my pond. I have more bugs, minnows, tiny frogs and fry than I have ever seen in any body of water. The pond has a glob of eggs stuck to every dead grass stalk in the creek. A thousand bugs to the square foot. Every step I take on the bank I see minnows, frogs and fry swim away. Each night I throw a few hands full of the small pellets to see if I can see CNBG. All I have seen is turtles. Last night I had enough and brought my 22 LR with me. I shot two turtles and never saw another turtle. Thirty minutes later I started seeing CNBG and I guess tilapia feeding on the small pellets. Does anyone think the turtles were scaring the CNBG off of the pellets? Do the tilapia adults and fry look white in stained water?

This has been a great learning experience and lots of fun!! \:\)
