I have NEVER seen fatheads out fish Emeralds at the Greece ponds ............... I have seen guys dump their fatheads and go buy Emeralds after watching for half an hour  ;)    ask my buddy Elmer :-)

Like I said, YMMV.

And next time I see Elmer, I'll try to remember to ask him.

I love to fish it in rough conditions! Keep your emerald slowly moving on bottom and you will kill them !  ;)

Sweet.

My family's farm is on Lighthouse.

Been fishing the ponds and Braddocks for over 50.
Close to 60.

So what!

I told you that I typically always prefer emeralds.
But I have seen fatheads outperform emeralds on the ponds and BB more than the reverse.
Just what I've seen.
Numerous times.
And I cannot explain it.

You however, have seen different.

Tell you what........bring both.   :D

And oaks, mousies, and waxworms.
And redworms.
And perchbugs………….

 ;D

Old fart!

What's a " perch bug" ?

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Actually dragonfly nymph Bob.
We used to buy them at Mac's boat Livery on Silver Lake back in the 60's.
Fish love them.





I have not seen them for sale since back then.

my buddy Joe and I have fished the ponds and Salmon creek and Braddocks for 50 years and have always done well with the fatheads, which are damm hardy. I have had  a minnow bucket with fatheads for almost 2 months   with no  circulator but only rain water additions. Too bad my minnow receite  is expired. Emeralds usually die within hours from when I buy them stored the same way.

They were my go to perch bait when I was younger. Bob's Bait in Lakeville always had them. Would love to find a supply of them again.
