So I fished and caught my first stringer of CC from the pond Sat, the biggest one weighed 2.6 lbs at just short of two yrs from stocked fingerlings, I have a feeder out but with the vast amount of fish out there the feed doesnt reach very far but obviously you will have some that tend to hang out right in that corner of the pond. I was checking what they were eating and several had little young crawfish in their stomach, which is good to know,, I was able to get several batches from Quarter Acre last fall but these were younger smaller then any of them so I must have had a population present already. Also seen Wood Ducks, many King Fishers, and a pair of beautiful Bald Eagles perched on a dead tree over the pond, witnessed one dive down to the water and catch a fish or something and then seemed to drop it or lose it before he got back to his perch, was surprised usually they take off when a person walks up to the lake but this time they didnt, were still there when I left. I stocked 300 WE and 500 YP a week ago, hopefully see what they will do.
All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
