Pat I try not to swim in my pond bc gators are a thing lol. With waders I feel less exposed.
Unfortunately some of both haha. Have some friends hunting the wild ones off my property so they stop harassing my domestic ones. Im finishing a set of GOS/Hampshire feeder crosses and switching to Berk/Meishan crosses and breeding
Today I either caught 2 turtles or the same turtle twice. Second time I had to let it run off with my biospawn swimbait because he was gonna snap my fingers off if I tried to take it out. Hope hes ok. First turtle was on a worm.
I had 2 cull sized bass (~1lb) but failed to get them onto the bank, broke off within a foot of it. Cause I suck. I saw a few larger ones but they wouldnt bite, then I saw a HUGE fin splash from what I THINK was a5+lb bass, but I couldnt get a good look and it wouldnt bite when I cast to that area.
Huge storms this week got the pond up a LOT higher. I'm excited to get the shiners this weekend but I haven't heard from hatchery. I think there's *plenty* of grass for them to hide in, although I expect a bit of a feeding frenzy I think theyll be able to spawn a bit.

Im going to ask a lot of questions, but only because I'm clueless
