Bill/Folks:

Before all this snow hit the Erie and Edinboro, Pa. areas (we have two to three and a half feet on the ground...and on top of my pond), I noticed that my bass were only averaging 9 to 12 inches and most of my bluegill are in the 3 to 6 inch range. In other words, I am kind of disappointed in what I have right now. I want to swing things around to having much larger bass at the expense of smaller bluegill, if necessary, along with a good perch population just to have some panfish I really enjoy. Anyones's tips on how to get there would be much apprciated (i.e. other types of forage, catching out this or that, etc.).
