I used to work for the pond management company that did the Es survey on my pond. They pulled in and shocked it for me one morning last year on the way to another pond. There was nothing written. I wasn’t personally on the boat but I was standing on the dock watching. The guys who dipped the fish said bluegill populations looked great. Good numbers of most all size ranges. The bass numbers were low. Like I said previously only a couple nice sized bass. Most smaller bass did not look fat in my opinion. The guys who dipped the fish said there was definitely some type of limiting factor holding back the bass but they did not know for sure what it was at that time. They said the results were compatible to a pond over run with crappie. I do not believe that is the case because they only shocked up 1 crappie and I fished with minnows over deep brush piles that week targeting crappie and did not catch any. I feel certain that crappie are not the issue. My pond elevation is around 800’ above sea level. Winters are not too harsh. We get cold temps and some snow occasionally but nothing too extreme. I did not see any lmb fry last year. I saw a couple bass on beds around the edges but they looked like males to me, most were small. I have not figured relative weight ratios but can do that this weekend if someone can tell me how the equation works. I will say the bass I have already caught this year are not fat. They do not look like prespawn bass should look this time of year. Thanks again for all the help.
