Meadowlark :
See the prior post and let us know more about your island. Do the bass/BG spawn on top? What is its size -- base and top ? Do you think it added productivity to the pond { using more of the lake area}? What % of the total pond volume { acre feet} does the island represent? How much more productive , as a % do think your pond is with the island. Is the top clay or gravel or hard packed? Does it have cover on the descending slopes ? Do the fish , over the year , move up and down the slope based on o2 , temp. and light penetration ? Any info from ML or others would be very useful and informative. Thanks--ewest
