Beautiful photo. I got it last year, so it will take a while to grow...I let it bloom a couple of blooms which was kind of dumb of me...should have put the energy in growing instead of blooming, but it is such a beauty, I couldn't resist. thanks for the eye-candy. kay

LOL!! just the plant for my DIL who, tho' brilliant, has ten "brown" fingers! I'm forever bringing her plants home in an effort to save them. cora

I assume this bass pond is mud bottom and fairly large. Here's how it's done. Being able to lower the pond level and a clean bottom are a big help. Other than that the methods you're using would be plan B. Not very effective as you've found. You might be able to get some but getting all would be tough. Longer term you might be able to train them to come to food, they may have to re-learn this. Then you'd have more luck. For bait I would use Berkley Powerbait for Trout, maybe Catfish. I know the Trout version smells just like the fish food they feed at the hatchery which is similar to many Koi food. Not sure if you want them caught alive, but you can string a trotline. Or bunch of jugs (plastic soda bottles) with fish line and hook tied on. Fish would probably not survive. I'm pretty sure these techniques are legal in private ponds but you may want to check. On a side note, the state of Maine out laws keeping of Koi and Goldfish. Many people think that's unfair, and maybe it is. But this demonstrates why most people in the state don't want to take the chance.

Thank you for your responses. You are right, and that is why it has continued for too long, the manager not approaching this properly. And the supervisor is condescending and demeaning, so you can imagine). In the past, I missed opportunities to have it witnessed when it seems she did not want to enter units during Covid. She would stand outside his door to listen, then not knock since she hadn’t heard loud audio. 😏 She also believes that if not hearing volume from a distance outside, then it must not be loud, and does not comprehend about Bass transference thru floors, walls, or amplifiers. 🤔 (Apparently that is suggested to do, but being in the instance of partying, fighting, yelling, as “nuisance noise” is considered being). Many times she would try to call him, but he would not answer or call her back and could not leave voicemail. (Then, it is forgotten about). If she ever did talk to him, it didn‘t matter. As mentioned, this type just continues on. I think I have mentioned his “talking back to her” when she spoke to him outdoors. She hasn’t understood how to handle this, when another might. It could have been resolve long ago. It’s funny, you would think she would after many complaints, do something. She’s nice, but seems passive. (It’s so frustrating and I would left in a flash if possible. I have felt stuck, the housing situation in So. CA being difficult for many). I have wanted to have her visit at the right moment, hoping it would not cease before she visited, but as said, is usually very late. (When the police visited, it was raining, and she doesn’t want to go outdoors then). Unfortunately, in the unit next to his “entertainment wall“ is a kitchen, and though the tenants were especially aware during his police visit aftermath when sleeping, they had not wanted to bother “writing the supervisor”. It has been futile. (I have asked anyone having lived next to me over time if they hear my TV or stereo, never having been an issue, but I am conscious of things, which is the difference). I believe that this would be handled differently elsewhere and if another tenant besides me would have resided here, the neighbor above would have been gone long ago. Part of the resistance to complaints stems from having had a couple of others prior be disruptive up there also, so I am seen as “being oversensitive”, when it is not the case and not being witnessed. ((sigh)) I did not experience this from most tenants here or in other buildings, so it has been very difficult, having had it doubted, assumptions made, on top of. Thanks for listening. I’m always glad to hear if others can get some resolve. This should be taken seriously.
