Well as for who actually does any fishing there its pretty much just me. The only other person I have seen fishing is the neighbors 11 year old son using a bamboo pole so.... I was pretty sure its over populated with bass and that's no problem since I am really hungry
I will definitely start removing the ones I catch. I have pretty much been reading about pond management like all day today. I read it might be a good idea to possibly add some big BG and maybe a few 5 pound LMB. We don't have any yellow perch although i would like them but i don't want them to compete with the bass for food if that will slow there growth. Also there is no crappie or rock bass or any thing else with a mouth big enough to really compete with the bass. I have seen about 3-4 carp but I have only seen them a couple times and they are maybe in the 10 pound range not the 20+ pounders I am use to seeing in lakes. Also the lake has no feeders or aerators. The bass seem to be long enough to have some weight to them but they just don't have the belly to add that extra weight I am looking for. Also my first day of fishing the lake I caught around 45-50 bass in about 8-9 hours with my go to lure (white grubs with 1/4 oz head) but it didn't seem so bad since i usually will get 3-4 times more fish with those then any other lure in ponds around here.
