Dan - Do you still check on this thread? IMO you probably took too many bass out of the pond. Another possibility is the remaining bass are various forms of lure shyness. If you restock some bass to help eat BG stock sizes that are at least 3X longer than the BG that you want consumed. 3"BG stock 9"-11" bass.
A medium large form of fish trap will catch numerous BG, more little ones than those larger than 6". In addition to the traps in the link, look into building or buying a Z trap. They also work good. Do not add YP to this pond. If you do you will very likely have two species of fish that are too small.
If anyone uses glysophate for emergent vegetation around the pond consider using ShoreKlear Plus designed for pond or water use (glysophae + the proper approved around water surfactant.
