Been there done that. Problem with this is that small bass (1"-2") get thru the mesh of "fenced area". These bass grow and thrive WITHIN the fenced area. Pretty soon your minnow numbers start to appear low.

If you use really small mesh fence then algae clogs the mesh and you have a mess & additional problems.
