    Hi Joolz, to be honest I haven't checked on them as yet. But I plan to don the Chest Waders tomorrow to have a wade in the pond to try to find the lost pot, so I'll check then. I might tip one bucket into the pond to see how they get on. You've lost 3 fish???:scratch: The usual suspect is the Heron......do you have any in the area? While I will fish in any size pond it wasn't me............I was in Cuba, Honest!!!:heehee:

      You're welcome!!! The fish are called Mannii Mannii, and they took a lure about 10 inches long, the Heron would stand no chance!!:snork:

        The sticks in the water are for line fishing [lines strung from pole to pole with baited hooks on them] the tide comes in bringing the fish with it, the tide goes out and leaves the fish caught on the hook behind.:snork:
