Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding FEEDING QUESTIONS, WHAT, AND WHY!

From what I see, our glass minnows, threadfin shad, gizzard shad, shiners, are in good numbers. My belief is that the red ear bluegill, and copper nose bluegill populations are very low caused by several factors, 1. minimal shoreline weeds and chemical weed treatment 2. introductions from 2006 to 2009 of 500 to 1000 adult bass from a nearby fishery 3. the lake has little shallow water and fast drop offs from shore allowing the bass to push the bluegill against the shoreline drop off and easily consume them.
