Hello Bob! This rain is wonderful. The ponds were all down but none at the critical stage. I am working on a project to get well water to all ponds.

I have an umbrella net under the feeder. Usual catch in the unbrella net is mostly medium size bluegill. Once in a while I catch a one or two large Tilapia and several medium Tilapia. If you lift the net several hours after the feeder has gone off the catch is usually small bluegill. I seem to never catch small Tilapia either in trap or net.

Liked the pictures of your new house. Enjoy the building process it's the best. Best of luck.
