What is the body condition of the bass? You don't really need to do a WR(although it is helpful) but identify skinny, head too big for body, roly poly or ...

I would spend a lot of time looking at the forage base. Are all sizes and age classes represented?

Clear water MIGHT beg for fertilization but certainly not at this time of year. Be very careful here.

In a one acre water hole, I would, as Bill says, back off the bass fishing. Those guys get hook shy pretty quickly. I would also create coon food out of any small bass I see.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
