[#0000FF]Glad you scored at least one. Looks like a "cookie cutter"...19 - 20 inches. Good eater size.
Too bad about the jet ski...snicker snicker. I've been tempted to "disable" a few of those guys myself. But when I get through with them they won't be hollerin' for help. They'll be beyond help. I talk a good game for an old fat man. (Do I sound like John Wayne?)
The surface algae bloom is an annual thing as the water temps cool down in the fall. There is a narrow range of temps where the previously dormant algae suddenly blooms and makes the surface turn green. Happened on Friday down at Lincoln Beach. Water temps started out about 57 and when they got up to 60 the lake greened up. Happens on a lot of waters. Depending on the water chemistry and species of algae the bloom may happen at different times and different temps.
The algae at Deer Creek also blooms this time of year and often forms "pea soup"...literally. The algae rolls up into little balls...and the carp love 'em.
