I put 10 bass in my one acre pond 2 years ago. They were about 10 inches and were supposed to breed last spring (2003)
I have not see any of them since I put them in. heard that they were supposed to lay their eggs in about 3 feet of water. My pond is about 7 feet deep to about 2 feet at the far end. I have lots of goldfish in the pond. Grrrr. It seems that there are a lot less small ones this year. Actually I put the bass in to get rid of the goldfish which seem to number in the thousands. The largest ones are about 9 0r 10 inches (goldfish)
