Maybe a silly question.... I was walking around the pond today and bass and BG were in large schools. There were a couple very nice size Bass. The weird thing was they were very close to the bank. They were staring at the bank looking like they were waiting for something to fall in. Is it normal for fish to swim close to the top? In one corner of the pond where there are a few weeds I counted 6 LMB and about 12 BG swimming around. The bass range from 10-14in. Then i went to another side of the pond and saw the same thing. Is it just because the water is heating up??

Sorry newbie here but very curious! I'm anxious to get my pond into a working foodchain!

Thanks!
