I have a small pond, a little less than a 1/4 acre. 1/1/2 years ago i put 50 CC in and all was good i was feeding them up to about 2 months ago, now that its been warming up ive tried to fish for them and feed them but no sign. Ive caught LMB and sunfish but no CC. Is it possible they have been eaten? I can see about 12 slider turtle and 2 snappers.

This continued until the bite slowed and I went home.

Have had trouble keeping crappie in my pond due to large LMB eating them. Have had LMB take many crappie that were hooked. You wouldn’t think that bass can empty a pond of crappie but they sure did mine……

I used to fish a small stream pool for bait fish, mostly green sunfish and chubs. Would not catch a fish untill I would catch the 4 or 5 turtles that were in the hole. Come back a week later and I could catch fish. Don't know if the fish were ate or just left the hole they were in, but with the turtles there were no fish.
