Draining pond, should I move fish - 10/27/08 09:17 PM
Here in a month im going to drain about a 1/4 acre pond to remove all the bass. Im gonna fill it back up and make it a forage pond.
Question is, this pond seems to be full of 1-3" bluegill. I was wondering if I should just leave them to the coons/birds or put them in another small pond that I have. I have a .75acre pond with 75 12-14" Blue cats in it that i'd like to feed.
Is there any reason why I should or shouldn't.
Another option might be to trim their fins maybe to help ensure that they are eaten. Anyone ever done that.
