My ponds are at Aylett,Va. They are gravel pits that are fed only by rainwater and underground streams. We catch very few smaller bass now and it has been that way for three years. When we bought the back pond in 2003 we would catch over a hundred sometimes. It was all take before then but as we started putting the big ones back they worked on the smaller bass. This might work for you. We take out a lot of fish but no bass except one 23 in. that weighted 9 lb.7 oz. that my great-nephew caught this year. The back pond floods and has at least 20 different species so it may not be comparable to your pond. If you will go back a few days to an aeration thread there are pictures of my ponds. Bill Cody knows his stuff and you may have hit the ceiling as we have too.

Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.
