Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Neighbor yelling Iam fishing out the lake! HELP!

M2A2 (Bradley?):

Neighbors - can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em. :rolleyes:

You can try to educate a majority re limits and the need for harvest (Bob Lusk's classic "Harvest the Garden" approach, and several related articles not all by him, can be found at BassResource.com), but IMHO most older people (like most people of any age) aren't all that interested in learning.

If there is a "Lake Board" or equivalent, you have a better chance at educating a majority of a smaller number of people who are hopefully more interested in the pond than the average Gladys Kravits with shore frontage and binoculars. If not, maybe you can organize one.

This is why I would rather be a big fish(erman) in a small pond than a small fish(erman) in a big pond.

Good Luck.
