If it's not dumping rain after work today I'm going to deploy the fyke net in my bait pond and see if I can catch out most of the bluegills that are in there. After that soak I'm going to move the net to the front pond and see what kind of weight reduction I can accomplish there. I'm hoping to pull 100lbs total weight - all bluegills under 9", all green sunfish, and maybe some yellow perch will be removed. Bluegills <7" will go to my buddy's quarry lake, bluegills 7"-9" will get the knife, bluegills >9" will go back into the pond.
I stopped by the nursery on my home from PT on Tuesday. Picked up a dozen tomato plants, two cayenne peppers, and four rhubarb plants. I re-potted the tomatoes and stuck them and the peppers in the greenhouse for now. It's too early to put them in the ground here, and even if it was time the ground is too muddy to even think about it.
No redear in there? They tend to grow a bit bigger than the bluegill and keep the snails under control.
