Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Should I take out blue gills

Be aware as the average size of bass becomes larger they become more lure experienced and harder to catch assuming that they see lures on a regular basis. A good bass catching pond where bass are caught often often has numerous bass in the 1 to 3 pound range. This is especially true in ponds less than 7-10 acres. The more frequently bass see lures and the longer the angling sessions the harder it is to catch bass, esp the largest ones.
