When I started last summer I had 3 acres of pencil skinny LMB and a few giant BG, now I have taken out 107 11-14” bass and I still have quite a few small bass to go probably need 50-75 more out. The pond now feels empty. I have added YP and they are doing well but are all 8+ inches and too big for most of my bass to eat. I even caught a 21” bass tonight the was so skinny he did not even put up a fight. I still threw him back as I have very few bigger fish in this pond. There seems to be nothing to eat in this pond for the 14”+ fish. What should I do next? I’m thinking about stocking adult 5-7” BG as many as I can get my hands on, thinking 1000-2000. Only BG in there now are 10”+ or last falls hatch. What else can I do to create a food chain.
Also my water is super clear year round. Last summer I fertilized and got a good bloom as a base for the food chain and will be fertilizing again as the water warms. Anything I can do to help oct-April?
A pond is like you job only way more important. New PBM subscriber.
