what did you catch them on?
Thanks. Spinnerbaits and Chatterbaits. The ponds are in my neighborhood and total about 4 acres. I just started "managing" them this year. I stocked 40 CC and am feeding daily. I am trying to get a sense of what else needs to be done. The bass seem healthy. The biggest was 18.5 inches and they are all fat. I don't really catch many under 14 inches, andI know they are spawning as bass fry are everywhere. I don't think I need to add any bass as I want to avoid overpopulation of the bass. If anything I might stock 5-10 bass to add some diversity to the gene pool as these are old ponds in a neighborhood that has been there for 30 years or more.
There are TONS of bluegills/panfish. They don't seem to be any larger than 6-7 inches, but I am fine with that as I would prefer to have food for the bass.
