Hey guys, I'm 14 years old and from ohio. I don't have my own pond, but there is a place where I fish where I am allowed to mess around with the fish. It is about 3 acres and has a ton of stunted bluegill, and hybrid bluegill. There were no bass in there when I started fishing it late this summer but I have gotten about 15 in there. I know that I need alot more but it's a start. I am also feeding the bluegill, and am hoping they will get bigger next summer. There are lots of big snapping turtles in there. Should I catch them and take them out or don't they make a difference?

Welcome Jason, have you checked with the owners to see if they have a history of the pond and stocking? As you catch fish, keep a log of all fish caught with size, body condition, type of fish, time of day, bait, etc. Also log the fish that you add.
The turtles aren't or shouldn't be a problem. They are mostly like buzzards in that they keep the pond clean. And, a really big turtle can be pretty ancient.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
