This is the first summer I have had with grown bass and their offspring. My bass`s growth has seem to slow down, they have grown on average 2" from last I checked them 6 months ago and they are 1 year of age, also they have lost weight, im guessing do to the high water temp ( high 80`s surface temp). I could see there offspring some around 4" last I saw, from the spawn up to July, now I havent seen any. I dont know if they all have been eaten or just hidding. The bass have been traveling the edges of the pond hunting the YOY bluegill which there are plenty of, but the are still pretty slim. SO is there any thing I can do to help my bass put on weight and get them growing again? or nothing I can do until fall when the water temp goes back down. I fertilize my pond once a month, feed 36% protein feed twice a day, and my Bluegills have been spawning all summer mostly deep. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
