I stocked about 3000 FHM, 40 LMB (1-3 inches), and 50 perch this spring. Is it possible that the bass and perch could have knocked out the minnows that fast (there are also 250 BG in the pond)? I used to see BIG schools of minnows in the spring, but now only see a couple of small groups in the shallows that get hammered by the LMB as soon as the start to move. Have the minnows moved deeper? I see the bass, and they don't look much bigger (3-4 inches). This is all new to me, so just trying to get a feel for this first year of the pond.
