I did some real X-mas tree work at my neighborhood pond today. 68 degrees in Western PA.

I threw some feed, and it took about 20 minutes, and then there was light but steady feeding. Water was kind of muddy. Saw a few bluegills.

I didn't take the water temp. It was in the 20's last night, I believe.
