Far and away, without question, my biggest pond management mistakes over the last 40+ years have been
1. not harvesting enough intermediate sized bass
2. not keeping records (i.e., numbers and relative weights)
both of these closely followed by
3. not replacing deteriorating cover and structure in my three 60+ year old ponds. Forage had no place to hide as all the woody/brushy cover rotted away.
Working hard (and hopefully smart) to correct all of these mistakes over the last 18 months....and making slow progress. BM61
