Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations pond fishing rules for guests

My pond rules are fairly simple.. direct family only can fish without permission and they all know the size limits.. Anyone else (close friends) can't go without calling first to get size limits.. Pick up your trash.. Size limit easily breaks down to keep all BG under 8" (I don't expect them to figure out sex) keep all bass over 14" even trophies, keep all catfish.. Absolutely no keeping trophy gills don't even ask lol simple as that..


But requiring people to use certain tackle, tools, identify fish sex, stomach sampling all bass over 10", vision/hearing test all blugill between 3-6" well you get my point. And I think if your ponds new and still establishing simply don't let people fish.. This is obviously just my opinion
