Since Camelot Bell bass from Overton's has been mentioned in this thread, I added the acronym to the Abbreviation List in the Archives. CBFB = Camelot Bell Florida Bass.

The presence of some bass in this new pond may require stocking extra forage and/or modifying the forage plan in the spring after a better evaluation of the current fishery has been made. Todd Overton will be have some good advice about this based on OMC's goals of producing large bass.

IMO esshup has good advice and a good efficient method for removing male LMB from the spawning areas. Follow the method closely. I have two additions, 1. if the water is clear (3-6ft) reduce the line diameter to 6 lb test; 2. keep a low profile while angling. A low profile such as sitting down makes it harder for fish to see you and then they will come closer to shore and be more likely to eat the bait. When fishing from shore, catch rates improve significantly using a low profile such as sitting on the ground.
