3/4 acre pond dug January of 2017. Average of 6 ft deep with two holes that drop over 13. Stocked with 70 YP 6-8 inches and 12 that are over 11 inches and 5 bass that are now. 10/11 inches and 4 gallons of FHM. I plan on adding minnows and perch every year.
Around middle of August I started noticing tiny bass in my pond. I throw them in the garden or on a hook when I find them in the minnow traps. Since then more and more 3/5 inch yoy bass have shown/grown up.
My long term goal is 5 fat bass and ability to pull out 10/20 perch a year for the table. My question lies in removal of YOY bass. In a small pond such as mine. Is it a realistic option to fish or trap out all YOY LMB. And if it's an option I try would I be hurting the perch and adult bass by removing a food source. At what size is a YOY LMB to big for a yellow perch to track down ?
PS. Go easy on me I be been lurking in the shadows for a year. Enjoyed gathering info from hours and hours of searches on perch.
