As mentioned to meet your goals you need to strongly regulate the fishing and harvest. Have everyone who fishes keep track of what they catch. Let people know there is a 'new sheriff in town'! No doubt there are several trespassers and their friends who know about the fishing in the pond and they all are raping it. Some people think the fish are free and it is there right to harvest them similar to the air they breathe and property they litter. Reduce the illegal harvest and the fishery will gradually return. Then allow a regulated harvest.
