After 4 years of trying to figure out what to do next to our pond, the only thing I'm sure of is I'm not sure of anything. Our bass will be 5 years old in May and we've spent the last two years taking fish out because it was overstocked. We caught a 4.5 lb bass in 2010 and a 5.5 lb in 2011. We have taken out approximately 500-600 bass from 14" and under. The bream started coming back last year and the bass are starting to look healthy again. We want something to really give them a boost but not have to restock every year. We tried Threadfin Shad and lost them after one year and just can't dump that kind of money into forage every year. We wanted to put 2 acres worth of Gizzard Shad and 2 acres worth of Golden Shiners in this year. Please feel free to give any advice because like I stated earlier, I'm not sure of anything. Thanks
