Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Need help, bass growth problem

Hey everyone,

So I have a problem with the growth of my original stockers which will be 3 this June. The problem is food source for them. I have some trophy size bullgills which are producing lots or BG fry and fingerlings around the whole bank. The problem is the bass are eating up the BG fast as they can. The YOY bass are growing nicely feeding on the 1" - 2" BG, BUT I am not seeing any BG in the 4"-5" BG for the adult bass to feed on they are expending alot of energy rushing the shallows feeding on the smaller BG. How can I get my BG to grow to that 4"-5" size? My pond is little over 1 acre and 18ft at the deepest. 4 pallet stacks in 4 corners of the pond, christmas trees at 12' 10' and 7' deep. Just added brush piles in 2 corners at 5' and some at 10' in front of the feeder. Also kissimmee grass here and there around the pond in small clumps. Looking for any ideas to improve the growth of my yoy BG.

Thank you for your help! Joe

I think you're on the right track with adding shallower cover. I have 4 brush piles in 6in-4ft of water; you can see BG of every size using the shallow portions.

Enjoy your youtube updates btw.
