Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Enlarge original pond or build another?

Is that a heart shaped pond?

Multiple BOWs equals multiple maintenance, but also multiple opportunities to divide fish species, and not all eggs in one basket (if one pond poohs the bed and a fish kill you've got 1 or 2 other ponds unaffected (potentially)).

I fish a pond that is about 0.8 of an acre, and it has plenty of toads in it. I've landed two 8+ largemouth bass, a buddy landed a 9+, I've landed a dozen 4+ pounders, and two other folks landed 10+ bass. The key to this pond is food. These bass are fed minnows on average twice per day six days per week. All minnows are shot out through a PVC pipe 4" in diameter. The bass just hear that water hitting the pond and they move in to feast. The boil is fun to watch, and more fun to fish. So you can grow heavy toads in smaller bodies of water if that is a goal of yours.
