Also, The pond was built in 1969 as a stormwater management pond. The biggest bass that I have caught during the 10 years I have fished the pond was a 3.25 pound Largemouth bass. There is a strong, very strong blue gill population, but I was thinking of adding a few pounds of fathead minnows, is this a good idea. I am applying for a grant from the Chesapeake bay trust to finance this eagle project. I want to create small rock piles in the deeper parts of the pond for the bass. The deepest part of the pond is up to 6 1/2 feet deep and has murky water. All the bass in the pond are in the 10 to 13 inches long. The pond was never actually "stocked" I was told by a neighbor that an old man used to catch bass from the potomac river and put them in the pond. My goals for the ponds are to:
(1). Expand the population of bass and have a healthy population of bass
(2). Grow bigger bass in this pond
(3.) Create a Diverse food chain for the bluegill and bass in this pond/
(4). Create structure for the bass to inhabit and feel safe in
