Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations neglected 25 yr old 30acre pond needs help

if you want to go all in have the hoa create a board member position for managing the pond - ask for a pond maintenance budget to include feeding, perhaps electrofishing, etc. Evaluate the population as best you can by surveying catches, netting/electrofishing, trapping, etc. See what needs adjusted to meet the big bass goals. Evaluate the structure, cover, plant live, food sources and water quality. Get more people on board in the community to help out - 30 acres is going to be a nightmare to manage alone
