Hello.
Wow, I just saw that Cecil Baird had 5 inches perch fry at the end of July.

Dejected I threw some of the sinking feed from the belt feeder into the water under the belt feeder and was elated to see a large mass of very chunky perch possibly up to 5 inches aggressively attack the sinking feed about 3 feet down! For some reason these fish refuse to come up higher in the water column. My theory is the ones near the surface are not pellet trained but the ones below are sucking in the feed as it sinks and aren't coming up higher in the water column due to warm temps.
I'm not sure how many perch I have this year but this was a relief.

I would have liked to know on what date the eggs were taken.
Since there can be a difference of 1 month between the first eggs and the last. Nice shot. A+
