Water has warmed up fast with the heat wave! I just need to keep the Great Blue Herons off them. They will spear anything that moves even if it's too big to swallow. Ive got about 70 feed trained largemouth in the production pond I want to get to 6 pounds. They are about 4 pounds now
As I was typing this an Osprey showed up to get his share of fish although he seems to be smart enough to only go after fish he can carry away. I scared him off with my PVC bazooka that fires bottle rockets. I would never harm them. Here's where I got the idea:
The trout pond which is much smaller has lines criss crossing it to keep out the ospreys. The bass pond is too large for that to be very practical.
