Thanks for the kind words about the tractor and pond. Now if I could just float the tractor over to mow the islands it would make my life easier. Lifting the mower into the boat then heading to the islands to push mow them is a pita, but they do look nice when I am done. The Bluegill follow the mower when I mow the edge as it scares up bugs and spiders and the fish lie in ambush. I have 8-10lb Channel cats that sometimes follow the Bluegill and pick off the smaller ones. I like catching the big cats on light tackle as they sure put up a fight, they break my line about half the time. I feed them in the evening and they are like a bunch of hogs, the water just boils.
