Update on fish.
I have not seen any redears. They were pretty small stockers, don't think they had a chance to worry about cold weather.
The bluegills got off a couple spawns, saw a couple of the stocked bluegills, pretty nice size.
Have a lot of crawdads too.
Have kept harvesting bass we catch to help reduce preasure on bg. Most bass caught were the same size, about 6-8" earlier this year, around 10" or so now. Probably harvested 70-100 fish.
Was told that I have Kentucky Large Mouth Bass.
Questions; Should I keep harvesting bass? They are getting harder to catch.
Do I need some different bass?
Will bg young be big enough next year to kind of start sustaining the pond?
I still have a couple larger bass, should they be harvested?
Estimate of how many years till nice fishery.
Probably 20 small bg hang out in the turtle trap, guess the bass can't get in. I feed them when I get the chance.
