Not an expert in pond management but I have over 50 years in fishing experience. So I'll defer to the experts to advise you on pond management.

From my fishing experience. Clear water and a bounty of bait fish makes catching Bass a challenge.

From my PB forum experience Florida strain Bass are known to be very selective when feeding, Northern' s tend to be more aggressive.

Tiger Bass are a cross but from what I've read are also aggressive.

Are you using artificial baits or live bait with light line?

From my very limited experience in pond management. Given the information you have provided. Unless the fish you have stocked were not stocked properly and died upon stocking, I can't imagine that they are not present and avoiding being caught.

Have you or others harvested any or have you been exclusively been practicing catch and release?
