Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization fish not eating feed

Did you stock them at the sametime? It seems to me that you are low on bass. Seeing lots of 3-5 inch bluegill is an indicator of low bass abundance. They could have died due to stravation (stocking at sametime, overstocking bass) or you could have poachers. However you look at it I think you have low bass numbers and too many small bluegill. Without an assesment this is just my observations on the info provided. Are the bass really fat, ever run Wr index? If so my theory would hold true....then if you want better bluegill growth stock more bass.
