Wanted to combine corn today, but an electrical problem ruined that idea. Talked my wife and daughter into a trip to the pond. Put a worm and bobber on wife's pole, jig with 2 1/2 inch Gulp minnow for daughter. First cast daughter caught a striper, only the second one caught since stocking 25 of them 3 years ago. From the size, it appears they are reproducing. Good sign. I had a 1/16th oz tinsel tail, and we caught maybe 15 large mouth dinks. Wife was getting mad not catching anything, so I took off the bobber and had her drop it on the bottom beside the dock. Game on, we caught about 20 hybrid bluegill that way, kept 6 largest 10 inch 1.25 monster. Biggest 'gill I've seen in person. It was getting dark, so we headed up the bank. I stepped on a stick I didn't see, it rolled and I went down. Sprained a couple of fingers and really stretched the knee I had replaced 5 weeks ago. Still don't know if it hurt or helped it, but doesn't appear to have injured anything so far. 🤞 It was great to see the spray I used did a wonderful job on the duckweed!

Hey I Farmer, glad to see the success with the fish and the Dyquat spray. Like I said we have been using that for spot spraying around our docks for several years. Praying that your knee is alright after your incident. We just returned from Arkansas this afternoon and saw a lot of combines working and several fields that have been chisel plowed already. We caught a lot of Rainbows, Brown trout and my daughter caught 2 Brookies that had beautiful colors. I am still trying to figure out how to get the pics from her text into a format that allows me to post them on F.S.
Again, glad to hear that the spray worked and those gills were beautiful.
