Took 20 or 30 shiners out of the pond today. Grandson was a good help.
Meanwhile, up by the dam my daughter and son in law were using the shiners to catch a few other species. They didn’t measure or weigh the SMB. Or the big YP.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
