Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Fixing An Old Ponds Population Issues?

Couple of things.

1) If you haven't been harvesting bass out of there, start now, because I'd bet that it is bass heavy and the bass are stunted. Those "young" bass might not be young, they could be older fish that aren't growing because of not getting enough fish to eat of the correct size.

2) Fish or pellets? It's a matter of economics. 10 pounds of fish eaten per year put one pound of weight on one bass. If they are pellet trained and eat fish pellets, a high quality fish pellet will put one pound on a bass with under 2 pounds of pellets.

Minnows are what, $9-$10/pound and a high quality fish pellet is around $1.25/lb.

What is the fishery goals for the pond?
