Well, now that I have decided that some HBG need to be removed to help manage the DO by reducing the standing weight of the pond...I can't catch them! They have turned completely off...no feeding to speak of, certainly no catching of the HBG the last two days.. The HSB are feeding very well and have now, proven to be relatively easy to catch. I have 6 HSB caged along with a dozen HBG...Surely I have not caged all the HBG I have in the pond. It's like they know I'm after blood.
The Optimal trials that I am conduction are messing with my mind...is it the food changes. Or maybe the weather, how many fish are really in their, it's a conspiracy...This is a RANT thread, I've just changed it up a bit. All in all, it's a good lesson in dealing with certain unknowns.
18 pounds of fish captured...57 pounds to go. I'll keep trying, at least fishing an hour a day is right up my alley...catching or not.
