Well, it's been awhile, and I finally took the first sampling from the pond. I took the easy route; I used a minnow trap. I had a slice of stale bread, so I took Cody's advice and broke 3 chunks off of it and placed them inside the cage. I walked the shoreline to find a spot that had minimal vegetation so it wouldn't disappear into the weeds. I found an area about 5' wide that was bare, then random vegetation beyond the perimeter. I tossed the minnow cage into about 2-1/2 feet of water...maybe 3' tops. 3 hours later, 3 fish and one big ol' BF tadpole. - - I dunno....Perch?
