Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations help with HBG

2 years ago I put 200 HYB (4-5 inches), and 50 LMB (2-3 inches) in my pond. Last year I took out around 75 HBG and 10 LMB-I added another 100 HBG (4-5 inches) to make up for what we deleted. I then added 200 YP (3-4 inches). My problem is this year I have fished three times and only caught perch-not one HBG or LMB-not even a bite. What could have happened to them?? I am really getting worried-no where for them to go and I cant beleive that all the HBG and LMB all died over the winter-I did have about 10 floaters but that was all-any ideas

Lots of us have had the same questions this spring. So far everyone has been told to wait it out and see what happens. Several of us have since reported that the fish are still here, just took longer to see them come out this year.

Do you feed fish pellets?

Many times, that helps to see what you have in the pond.

I have been feeding with pellets and the pond is swarming with fish-I just cant tell what is what-usually the HBG have been very aggressive and the perch kinda of just come up and suck it in. I have had a ton of fish coming up and splashing like they are either the HBG and LMB. But my problem is I still havent had one bite from either the bass or bluegill and I am getting worried.
