Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization Healthy Water

Dean, you can get cheap test strips from any pet shop that will allow you to test alkalinity. They are used for testing aquarium water. You can test it yourself. Or maybe Amazon, WalMart, etc. You may not be able to remove enough bass by angling alone. Think about getting a pond management company in there with their electroshock boat to remove all the small bass that they shock up. They can remove probably as many in 1/2 day as you can in more than a month, and they will be removing the ones that won't bite on a lure/bait too. That right there will help the fishery genetic wise. You want fish that will bite vs. ones that won't...........
