Well I just got the shock of my young pond life. Put together a cord to drop my thermometer to different depths and went out to the middle of the pond, just beside my diffuser. Bottom (10.5') measured 88 degrees. Came up 2 feet (8.5) measured 90 degrees. Came up to 2 feet from surface and measured 91 degrees. Not only am I over circulating, I'm about to cook my dang fish!! Cutting back on aeration to 6 hours.
Strangely enough tho, the sunfish seem to be doing well, feeding good and no signs of stress. I'm still seeing my bass occasionally busting heads in the shallows as well.
.10 surface acre pond, 10.5 foot deep. SW LA. The epitome of a mutt pond. BG, LMB, GSF, RES, BH, Warmouth, Longear Sunfish, Gambusia,Mud Minnows, Crappie, and now shiners!!...I subscribe!!
