Welcome daymon66! You have tons of fathead minnows, or you think you have tons of FHM?  How old is your pond, and when did you stock it? I'm just an intern greeter. The high powered greeters will be along shortly to give you a proper welcome. We're glad you found Pond Boss. If you need something, just holler.

OK, you just stocked it then. So you do have tons of FHM. As soon as those little bass reach ~6" in length, they'll disappear... if the catfish don't get them first. Sounds like a great setup you have there. Congratulations for making it happen. If you're not already 100% hooked, you will be in a short time.

Thanks.
and i appreciate this forum. have been lurking and reading so i respect and appreciate all the advice and information you have here.
i'll add more FHM when needed but i can walk around the pond now and see them everywhere. hopefully they'll reproduce some but i'll make certain i keep them stocked.

Sounds like a nice set up daymon... We're glad you found us!
If you haven't noticed we love pictures... So if you have some post them up for us to see.
The recently added fish, were they added to an already established fish community in your pond? If so, what other fish do you have present, size ranges, etc... Thanks for joining in the fun!

Welcome to the forum. I myself am a newbie, and there is a huge wealth of information here. Plus most of the guys are just plain funny. So welcome again and enjoy.

I can almost bet most of the 6"-8" CC became bass food if you've got 5-6 pounders in there!
Very nice looking pond and set up! That BG is very pretty. Do you have any RW's on your LMB and BG? Any reason you didn't stock any RES?

Daymon, A giant Land of Sky Blue Waters welcome! You have a beautiful place there. I live about 15 miles from Jasper, Minnesota so we already have a lot in common. Where are you (approximately) in relationship to the 190, 96 intersection?

we are about 3 miles south of the 190 96 Intersection. Originally the Hart and The Maddox property. thanks for the compliments and support. no RES. they're already some in the pond and i don't feel like being eaten alive should we decide to swim..

Beautiful pond! Welcome from another almost, not-quite, getting-there, trying to rise about newbie status myself.  This is a GREAT place to get some good advice!
If you're too scared to throw that bait where the fish are, why did you tie it on?
