For your fishing with red worms and a No 10 hook under a bobber in a balanced general fishing BG-LMB pond, I have found that you should be catching about 10-15 BG for every bass; bare minimum 6BG to 8BG for every LMB any size - using your method. Fewer bluegill than 5 or 8:1 bass usually results in larger average sized BG and smaller bass. This ratio also seems to work pretty good for most panfish : predator communities.
