I have not done a seineing on my pond although I do have a small seine that I have used to seine minnows from creeks. I'll try this next month. I'm not sure I will get any accurate samples due to the ponds steep shore lines but will also keep close tabs on the pond to see if any signs of bass show up. I read the literature in the link posted, it looks like a nice tool for managment.
I also thought I would ask about the fact I live in Iowa, and in comparison to more southern lakes and ponds, wonder if the growing season would be a factor in the time period my bass have taken to spawn? My pond is one of the last open up in the spring, it sets in a draw and is surrounded on a about 75% of the perimeter by trees so does not get as much wind as most.
Thanks again for your input!
