My bass used to chase them down, get the loach in it's mouth and then the loach would swim out of my bass's gill cover :lol: It should be fun, because those loaches are super fast and slippery.

She told me about them and I remember the first time I went bass fishing in Korea, there was an American guy using them to catch bass. I threw in a couple boxes of the red wigglers yesterday and the bream tore 'em up. Can't wait to see the bass chasing down the loaches. Rob and Steve,

I'm sure the bluegill (working as a pack) would eat them also.

Also, have you ever thought about going down to the market and buying some minnows? Ron P. used to buy a couple of dozen or so for trout fishing and they only cost a few thousand Won. I'm talking about the ones the Koreans eat, the ones you find in the food markets.... John, I’ll see if I can catch some frogs this weekend.

I am going to put in some water lilies and maybe some cattails to give the fish a little more cover. As for the bass and the hook, he doesn't come out from under the rock enough for me to see if the hook is gone. I'm having a blast just watching the bluegill, they swim around as a group with the biggest fish always last. Steve,

Hope he shakes the hook loose. When you put some frogs in the pond, don't forget the camera....I'd love to see what happens :twisted: Again, your pond looks awesome :grin: Have your thought about about putting some pads and plants in the pond, that will attract insects, which will attract other forage that the bass and bluegill can eat :idea: :shock: :shock: :shock: I would of loved to of seen your bass take the senko.

I'll take as many frogs as you can rustle up. Like Steve was saying, I really would like to add some crawdads, but there isn't any way that I'd pay more than a dollar for one. I just may take a trip to a mountain stream and see if I can't net a few. I know I can catch some fresh water shrimp - thats a great idea for the bream. I was messin' around last week, before I added the bream, and was tossing a Senko in the pond to see if I could coax the bass out of his spot under the big rock in the middle. I knew I should have cut the barb off the hook but I wasn't thinking. A few casts to the right, nothing but the first cast to the left, and Wham! He came out from under the rock and inhaled the Senko. It was so fast that I instinctively set the hook. The line broke as he swam back under the rock. I was bummed out that he had the hook and worm in his jaw. The next day I waded in with a net but he was so far back under the rock that I couldn't get the net in. I did notice that the worm was gone and am hoping that the hook will rust out soon. Rob,

As I was trimming the weeds around the garden last weekend I must have seen 20 frogs. Way to go on the bluegill! It's nice to see that that lake still has IT! It's actually the first lake I ever fished over here, brings back some good memories with Alan and the gang.
