The current goal for our pond is to produce pan fish. So a somewhat LMB heavy so we can harvest a good number of LMB in the 2-3# range. That should also produce some nice pan size BG.

Do date, I've not been bitten with the "big fish, trophy on the wall" bug (sorry Cecil wink ). But then a couple years ago would have never dreamed that I would enjoy fishing or done as much of it as I have this year. So as the fish grow and my angling skills improve (hopefully) who knows? Maybe my goals will change.

But for the time being "many" relatively easy to catch "nice size" fish floats my boat better than a "few" monsters. "Lots" of half to 3/4 pound BG & RES and 2-3# LMB would be great.

So that's the current management focus, and any information anyone has to help me get there would be appreciated. After reading lots of PBF posts, hopefully I have a handle on it, but if I'm veering off course Bill, please don't hesitate to steer me back on.
