Very helpful. I'm ordering the tagging kit today. The 20-50lb per acre seems very low to me but I'm sure you are correct. I fished on Wednesday for 40 minutes and caught 5 bass, the smallest 2.4lbs (pre-spawn). I do weigh all the fish but haven't measured the length. I'll start doing that as well. If I had to guess I'd say there are well over 100lbs of LMB in the pond (last fall we caught 25 in 2 hours) so that is an area we'll have to work on.

One last question for now (:

What should I use to feed the BG? I would prefer to establish a forage minnow rather than pellet feed. Any suggestions?


Thanks a bunch for the help. I at least have enough information to get started.
