Thanks, Bob. That's exactly where I am, southeast side of Lake Arrowhead. The last couple of days, I've scared a pair of ducks off the pond. They seem to have taken up residence there. When I drive out to my place, I see lots of cormorants on the lake. That was why I was worried. If the ducks don't eat too many of these catfish, I'll leave them alone. Do I have to worry about these two ducks? I actually bought my fish in the parking lot of Berends. The seller told me to buy fish float there in the store because the fish would grow faster and the food provides a better flavor of fish, too. I'm taking his word for it. He also told me it would take about 5 days of steady feeding to train the fish to come to the food. I'll feed on warmer days for now, and start feeding daily in March as you suggested. Thanks for the info.
