Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction What did you do at your pond today?

Caught a 7" BH on a shallow-med depth diving 3" hard crankbait. It was not foul hooked. I did not know BH are that aggressive. Still very few YOY BG being caught in cloverleaf traps, no GSH and rarely LMB. Last year all three were regularly trapped. Some days there are 10+/- BG that were stocked last year. I've removed several pond record BH in the last week using cut GSF. One had a crawfish and old hook in its stomach. 2 of the last 3 appeared to have already spawned. Although visibility is about 15" the only beds I see are small GSF. Maybe the BG are bedded deeper. I hope.
This weekend I will be building a large tube/torpedo trap per recommendation from Bob to remove large BH more efficiently. Updates to follow and perhaps mass production!
