Its been about a month since I caught the Pacu "A" team. Been busy ranching...but today was kind of rainy and cloudy so I went fishing instead. The result: the Pacu "A" team in Nova pond is now verifiably 3.2 pounds and 3.75 pounds respectively.
ML,
We have now made 5 catches on the 2 pacu. I can't tell them apart, so I don't know how many times each fish has been caught. Haven't weighed or photographed them, but they look to weigh 1 to 1-1/4 pounds. Mine aren't real fighters, as they don't seem to realize they are caught until they are out of the water. That's when they really explode. We've been catching them on bream poles. I can't wait to catch one on rod and reel pretty far from shore.
At fish feeding time, I am seeing lots of minnows and an occasional small BG panicing and jumping out of the water, which I never saw before the pacu were put in.
My guess is, the pacu are doing some light snacking on weeds and maybe minnows, but getting most of their food at afternoon feeding time.
