I don't know what to think about that Dave. The pond being pretty muddy may help the craws and it's got a fair amount of rip-rap on the dam shore. I have not harvested a HSB this year (only caught that one above). They are not easy to trick to the hook and I am concentrating more on a 72 Pick-Up hobby this season so fishing has been minimal. I hope to take a HSB soon for table fare and look forward to inspecting its stomach contents for craws. I am afraid that my fish populations are lower than I thought, but I know there are plenty of these HSB in there and IF they feed on craws...they should be A LOT bigger than they are. Maybe the craws are eating my fish...they're doing great. I'm still trapping 20-25 a night, but only able to soak the trap 3 nights a week.
I think I'll fish a bit tonight!
