I have a pond in my backyard that was dry 10 months ago but now has over 12 feet of water in the middle. The bottom was solid grass and a large number of small trees are submergered now. I want to create a Bass pond and to do it right.
How should I start? It is spawning season now and I could easily catch a large number of females that are full of eggs in other surrounding lakes. But I get the feeling that I need to create a food supply first. Although there must be ample bugs and worms in my pond since it was a grassy hole not long ago.
I see something spotting the water now, but I'm not sure if it is small fish or air bubbles.
If you can help I would greatly appreciate it. Like I said I access to near by lakes full of Brim, Bass, Catfish ......
Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can provide me.
