Can there be too many trees in a pond if the goal is big bass? I am currenlty siphoning my pond of about 1.5 acres due to overstocking by the previous owner. I am going to hit it with fhm and gs in the spring, bluegill in the fall and lmb spring of 2010. As it is siphoning down I am discovering that the whole shallow end of the pond has submerged trees. I have gotten snagged some when fishing but was very surprised to see just how many trees are down there. My question is, can to many trees give the forage an advantage over the bass?
