Bought 3 to 3.5 acre pond that is old have not been able to find out just how old . it had Bluegill-Bass-and some type of minnows . I have stocked 500 diff. sizes of bluegill & 500 C-Catfish.A year ago ,when first bought grandkids were catching a lot of bass on minnows 1 to 2 pounds.have caught a 5lb. & 7lb. on plastic & one 24" long [not weighed].now fishing with artifical lures .pond was electroshocked a year ago around the shore from a boat at night,collected 25 bass. all about 13" aged them and was advised to lime & start to fertilize, catch & release thru 2003.I did this, but can't hardly catch them now. lots of shoreline . due to a point sticking out into the pond formed by two inlets apprx. 35 ft. wide coming into the pond with a lot of over hanging brush on the shore. Guess the bass are hugging the shore under all the brush and i can't get to them. should i stock more bass ? Fishing for bass is lousey! Harvey
