Just an observation here.. I keep seeing throughout some of these threads the recommendation to not utilize LMB in less than 1 acre ponds.. That may be true in other areas, or certain areas but here on the high plains where we have small, non flowing cricks, not 20' across and maybe 40-80' long we catch bass and good ones. Mostly supported by a mix of GSF and a few BG, these little holes do very well. some don't get fished for a few years at a time, yet they still produce healthy 3-4-5lb bass. I think sometimes our definition of "It works or it doesn't" has different meaning.
Again, just an observation but I don't think everyone is necessarily looking for 10lb LMB in their 1/2 acre pond.
I feel like what jpsdad is suggesting would provide very similar results to what I consider a good fishing spot.
