I fished on Saturday for the first real catch since I have bought the pond. Here are my observations:
1 The Bluegills are uniformly large fish
2 The bluegills are very aggresive and will hit rebel silver minnow crank bait. I caught 8 and they were all large fish
3 I caught only 2 bass and they were about a pound
4 I caught 25 crappie and again, on the same crank bait. THey were holding in the new cover I put in only a week ago. THey are all very nice fish, 10-12 inches.
As stated before I have many large channel cats and they are hand fed with fish feed. THe bluegills also eat this feed. It seems the bluegills are dominating the bass in this pond as well as the catfish. Opinions please?
