Theo,

I couldn't agree more with you. In fact, I think you may have really hit a proverbial nail on the head with your comment on fishing pressure.

I fish my ponds a bunch, probably more than Greg's clients, at least it sounds that way. In fact, I fish every weekend and sometimes have one or more guests. Three weeks ago, I had 10 guests, all fishing. Now thats fishing pressure on small ponds. One guest swore he caught "100 bass in my 3/4 acre pond" (the one without feeders, sorry don't mean to go backwards again \:\) ). That pond needs significant rest now regardless of what kind of feeding is present....and does not have 100 bass either.

At any rate, I've found that our differences are largely due to different and not understood variables, e.g. amount of fishing pressure. By discussing them, without personal rancor, we can almost always reach agreement and at the least learn in the process.

Thanks Theo for your observations.
