Guy's I understand the concern of allowing strangers to fish our pond's & I won't do that in my pond. However I believe in letting certian people, especially kids fish. I don't think knoles will be able to manage his 30ac lake by himself. He could hire a pond manager to shock & remove fish every year & I don't have a problem with that .. it's his to do with as he wants. Professional managment will still be needed off & on with that large a pond if you want trophy bass.
However there's nothing more satisfying than watching youngsters thrilled at catching a 8 - 10 inch bass! And they will be learning about pond management!
noles I suggested the NWTF Jakes event because it is controlled, with instructors that you can inform to only fish for small bass, once a year or only once if you desire, they won't be comming back to fish on their own & how many times do we get the opportunity to be the one that made so many kids so happy for a day?
