Re: As promised in another forum
Yep brownies, we had another small pond that one of the boys put up a sign saying "Take no Bass". In a period of about two years, maybe a little longer, we started having problems with the population. Seemed like most of the pan fish started disappearing and then the bass that were left showed signs of malnutrition. We drained the pond, catching the fish left and found around 250 bass, less than 10 adult brim, and a few catfish. The bass overpopulation had eaten themselves out of a home.<br /><br />Now we keep the bass we catch on all of our ponds and don't care who doesn't like it. It is healthy for the fish to control the population.
