Canyoncreek,
Why am I culling bass, and planning to restock them? When I moved onto this property, the pond was full of stunted bass. I've been culling them over the last year because they're obviously unhealthy (under fed to a gross extent). I would ultimately love to have some healthy bass in the pond so my kids can catch them occasionally, but I feel like I need to "reset" the bass population. Get rid of what we have (as much as I can), then slowly let the numbers increase with healthy fish. Does that make sense?
I'm surprised by that number of LMB you gave me (4-6). That's so few... was hoping to be able to sustain a population of 20 or so at least.
I live right by Lake Ontario, which is positively brimming with PS. I can catch a dozen or more of them off the docks in my local bay any time I want. That's where my stock will come from.
