Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Pellet feeding SMB

Goals for the fishery are high catch rates, quality fish, don't need a 'trophy' . I have
3 kids and many friends and family will fish the pond.... Have a pool and pond being built over the next 4-5 months so a lot of parties and get togethers . Want a put and take pond to keep hook shy to minimum and introduce new fish on a consistent basis.

I read a lot about others wishing they had multiple smaller ponds..... If I can do an acre , would it be better to do a 3/4 and a 1/4 acre and have 2 ponds? Could raise some forage and experiment with the smaller? Probably just doing one but making me think....

Ideal situation would be for kids to catch some nice HBG/ YP with the occasional HSB or SMB.

I will enjoy the feeding and managing , and occasional fishing but want to see others have fun....
