I enjoy bass fishing, but I also enjoy catching just about anything else that will hit a lure. A 6-pound bass is a nice fish in this area. My personal best from here was an 8-4, and it came from a power-plant lake with shad and year-round warm water.
A pond managed primarily for bass, with other species available as a bonus, sounds good. What do you think of adding maybe 100 WE and a couple dozen HSB to a basic LM, BG, RES mix? If half of the HSB survive to adulthood, that would make for some fun C&R. As for the WE, I've read on here that pond WE max out at about 20-22 inches, which would be a good size for harvesting in a few years.
I'm definitely willing to feed my fish and aerate the pond.
