I completely agree with Meadowlark's assessment, but it does seem that on some of our less pressured ponds we can rotate presentations annually and still keep the catch rates reasonable. I believe it is absolutely true though, that ponds that are managed for maximum growth rates are significantly more difficult to produce high CPUE's (catch/unit effort). Keep in mind that fish which attain large size on artificial feed can be "induced" to bite by turning off the feeders. ;\)

Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
