I have managed to catch 2 lbs of skinny bass so far. These blue sky sunny days are not helping. I am learning about the pond however. When the fish in general aren't biting the few fish that are biting are in the shallow water on each end. Need a good front to move in.
I just finished bass fillet sandwiches for lunch. Much better than I remember. White, flaky flesh with no real fishy taste. Thanks to the board for the freezing the fish in a icy brine mix tip!
30 lbs by the end of the year is a challenge for sure. I am going to do my best!
The soil there does need lime. They had it tested for their garden.
Plan in place:
1) Catch a lots of skinny bass.
2) Add lime this winter
3) Fertilize early next Spring
4) Add 200 5"+ bluegill or grow out 200 1" - 3" in baskets until they are large enough to release.
Will this work?
