I had to go to Lake Erie about 3.5 hours away.

I did wonder about asking if Frank can deliver some each year if he was heading up this way.

Cheers Don.

EDIT: lets make some traps and try an assessment of the pond this summer. So far this spring we are very happy with what 8-10" perch we are catching.

Again I expect the perch we are catching on worms or natural bait are the ones foraging for food and not on pellets. Our pellet perch last summer were noticeable with the feed running out of them and the two large layers of fat inside them.
