Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Sunfish manegment

How much have you fished it? Pits larger than a couple of acres can take a while to figure out and get on the big sunfish. This is especially true in deep clear water pits. Are you fishing from shore? If so find a way to get a boat, canoe or kayak on there and start drop shotting deep weedlines and mid depth weed flats after the first big spawn. Are pumpkinseeds the only sunfish in the bodies of water?

You can remove weeds, add predators, feed, and remove as many sunfish of each length class as you can. Due to the size of these ponds it will take a great deal of effort and time.
