Those of you that know me some from here at the forum also know I did a lot of my fish stocking before I found PBF. I now have what I call "On Mutt Pond." So what is the downside, other than hybrids, of dropping one male GSF in a pond with BG and PS? I am not going for some record of some pure species, just playing around with "what if." I also have one LMB in with six SMB. My puddle is small, what the heck, I can always easily start over.
This thread is for those PBF readers/members that aren't looking for a trophy this or a trophy that pond. Just good fishing on a Sunday afternoon with friends or family and, if ya get lucky, a fish fry at the end of the day.
Enjoy the time, life is not forever. Watching a little guy catch their first fish is your reward!
For you kindred spirits just looking for a good place to fish, I do not expect a lot of replies to this thread as it really doesn't fit the norm but, I will do my best to coax opinions out of some of the pros along the way. I hope you enjoy the view from Mutt Pond!
Always nice to see the younger generation without an I-pad in their face. Nice yp, think that smile says thanks for letting me fish your pond. Congrats on both accomplishments
Dandy yellow perch that your visitor caught. Enjoy those yellow perch, however they may become few and far between. With bass commonly present they will eat lots of the young YP even to the point of eating more YP than sunfish due mainly to the slender versus wide body shape of sunfishes. To keep YP present long term in the pond you may have to periodically stock several larger 6" to 8"+ perch. Bass love to eat easy to catch yellow perch.
Three years of drought left my little puddle even tinier so not really much to post about. I'll be dropping by every once and awhile going forward to harass you guys!
Bill so good to hear from you! Not the same without you
