Good Morning ALL.... I just by chance found this forum this week...bought the mag subscription and am really looking forward to learning a lot from everyone....

I live in the Pensacola Florida area, I have a small pond in my back yard...covers about 1/3 acre. The depth starts out at 3+ and goes into depths of about 10 to 12'... When I bought the place there were maybe a dozen very large c/cats in there and TOO many brim.. most of them small as well. I think all in all the pond is healthy, as I see new bass around the edges at times. What I'd like to know is how do I yeild the most fish? What are the tricks? I have to admit that as of right now the pond is more for watching than catching...We've only had the place for less than a year...so we are learning. I also noticed these past few days that the brim are forming up into what slmost looks like "bait balls" on the surface...what is this behaviour? Sure am looking forward to getting to know yall....
