Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Shoud I kill all the fish off or restock in cage

There is a half acre clay pond at my parents house. We stocked it 10 years ago and have pretty much left it alone since.

We stocked it with BG and Channel cats. Then 2 years later came back with LMB. Pond was good for a few years but after I moved out they stopped feeding. Pond kind of went unchecked.

Now when you feed you see a school of adult BG. No small fish at all, half dozen or so 3/4 lb LM and ZERO catfish. A few years ago we caught channel cats over 10lbs out.

So should I put a cage and re stock with BG and Catfish? I am working on my pond at the same time (will be a bass/BG only pond) so at Dads I really just want BG and Cats for my nephew to catch. Or do I need to kill everything off?
