Yeah I got the mats this year already too. I am not as worried about them as I am what comes next! CHARA everywhere!!! The mats make it a little hard to fish but that dang chara will make it almost impossible to fish once the water starts to go down some. I will be getting some Cutrine Plus pellets for that. They work great for it as long as you can catch it before its full blown! I don't treat it all I treat about 1/2 the pond or so. I don't mind having some of it but not everywhere! Usually I can use 30 lbs in my 1 acre pond and it does good. Plus I have 4 grass carp that I believe eat some of it as well. Grass carp won't eat floating FA though from what I have seen.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
