So now that it’s been getting warm out again. I have fished the pond 5 times for about 30 minutes to an hour each time. I have caught a couple of large bluegills about 20 small channel catfish and 1 largemouth bass.
For those that don’t know my 8 acre pond had/had an a catfish problem. I’ve taken out 4,400 last year summer alone.
Optimistic me says the catching the one bass and a couple bluegills and catfish means the otters didn’t destroy the pond. (Two were caught and I’ve only ever seen two)
Pessimistic me is concerned that I’ve only caught one bass when I have been throwing rattle traps jerk baits and chatterbaits to specifically target them.
We also have had a ton of rain and the pond has less than a foot of visibility due to the high water.
I guess my question is when should i start to worry I’m not catching bass. Once water temps hit mid-50s to 60 you should see an increase in bass activity, especially in the shallows. If you can't catch them after that, I would start to get worried.
