It's been a while since I've been on here, but our 1 acre pond is doing great. The fatheads and shiners that I originally stocked (I believe) have really been thinned out by the stocked game fish (SMB/perch = planned), (LMB/sunfish = not planned).
How can I improve the habitate for the fatheads and shiners, so I can catch some for fishing our large lake? The habitat that I installed before the pond filled are a few tire pyramids, pallet triangles, rock piles and some pallets under our 14 x 16 dock. I remember reading on here about wrapping chicken wire ( is this to large?) around pallets and laying / staking them just submerged along the shorline. Good idea? How many? I imagine this would be for the fatheads.
Any thing I could do for the shiners? Could I build a large cage for protection form the game fish?
Thanks
