I knew we were pushing the water temperatures but my thinking was I would like to thin the herd a little so there would be less stress on the remaining fish left in the pond.
Heath Lawrence came over the other day but it was after a rain and we only got 2 HSB in cast net throws and none by hook and line. They were not even feeding on the pellets for a couple days because of the weather and water change. He did go home with some larger RES and some small RES caught in the minnow trap though so he did not go home empty handed. He is only a few miles away from me so hopefully the 2 HSB he got survived. He said they swam away anyway so fingers crossed.
Getting the time of year for cooler nights so maybe in another month the water temps will drop some and we will have better success.
