On my ponds, my goal is to get fish to a certain size and then let people have the most fun they have ever had fishing for them. My goal is to grow big fish, but I am not going to sacrifice the fishing pleasure of hundreds to grow a world record.
We use pellets for bait!
n8, so this is a completely different point than I made above (which I'd love your comments on), but isn't more than half of fishing fun actually the 'challenge' of getting the fish to bite? managed ponds are like shooting fish in a barrel with ANY lure for the most part. We're fishing in outdoor aquariums. When I was 6 it was fun fishing at the fish hatchery...
You should call what you're doing 'catching'.. it's not really 'fishing'..
Might was well give them an electrofishing boat..
