Not being a "true" fisherman, I had my brother-in-law come out and fish my pond last week. In the past, I had dropped a line or two and not gotten anything, although I could see the buggers swimming around. Pond is about 4 acres and about 9 ft deep in the middle. He caught a large-mouth bass on almost every cast from shore. Mostly small, 5-8 inches or so. He and others thought it was overpopulated with LMB. I would like to stock it with perch, so I contacted a hatchery and they also suggested putting in some hybrid blue-gill to control the LMB population as the BG will eat the LMB fry. Maybe throw in some minnows as well. The idea is to get it in balance. Thoughts/comments?
