Harvested a bunch. Caught 21, harvested 18. Caught mostly on a purple and silver rattle trap and a pumpkin colored rattle trap.

Catching dinks gets old. Where are the big fish? Thought I finally hooked into a decent size fish but really I had landed two w/ once cast!

It’s fine. No problem launching the boat. Fish were in the channel running down the middle.

These fish are still dink?  Thought we had removed a ton?

As of 10/25 we have removed 184 fish 14 inches and smaller. Our goal is 200 for the year. Fish harvest for most lakes is a tool we use for the life of the lake. I fished here 2 months ago and most fish we caught were 14 to 17 inches. We will continue to adjust harvest numbers to increase the weights of the fish. We also added $800 of tilapia in May.

How as the grass? Looks like it still may be thick from the pic

Grass was thick 2 months ago, not sure today, but it begins to die back this time of year. From about mid November to March most of our lakes will have little vegetation issues.
