T.Smith - Do you have any idea how many man hours per year are spent fishing in this 30 ac lake?? To make the necessary changes by angling it will take a lot of hours of angling to remove enough fish to see results very quickly within two or even 3 years. In the meantime the bass are spawning each year to compensate for bass removed. Managing a 30 acre fishery takes a concerted effort. Without enough annual effort or adjustments (artificial or natural) the lake inhabitants will follow the natural path represented by the trend of the current fishery. IMO it will take some professional help to maintain the goal of large bass. One of several options to be seriously considered is to add a predator to randomly remove smaller bass.
