Great update, I'm still working on getting YP established in my pond. I believe this is year 3 since my first fall stocking. My pond is close to 3 acres. It has bluegill, LMB,BCP, and CC. I stocked 300 7-9 inch YP.The first spring I saw eggs everywhere. That summer I caught a few YP while crappie fishing. last year was a tough year so I didn't do much fishing in the pond and I never caught any. I also didn't notice any eggs this Spring. I stocked 300 more 7-9 inchers in October of this year. Over that time we have removed every bass caught over 7 inches and IM still working on removing all CC as I believe they are my main YP predators. I too am seeking a successful YP pond.
