Recently bought a new home on 38 acres. Have 2 ponds, one just over one acre and one that is 10 acres. The previous owner told me there were 7 lb LMB in the large pond. I have been fishing for about 2-3 weeks and have caught 50-75 bass all about 12 inches in length. I suspect he has never harvested any bass. Would it be smarter to harvest bass 12 inches and under or try to increase the food supply? My goal for the 10 acre pond is trophy bass. Any thoughts or suggestions welcomed. You have a great forum here.
I live in central Kentucky. The lake is spring fed and up to 21 feet deep. I have caught 5 crappie on crankbaits as well as several nice bluegill. Apparently there are some channel catfish in the lake also.
