Issues with relocating bass from one pond to another?

I recently moved to a subdivision that has a small pond (maybe 2-3 acres) for use by the homeowners. I've fished it several times with little to no luck. I know there are bream in the pond, as they always gather near the bank at the back of one particular house (I figure the kids feed bread to the fish and ducks there), but rarely do I see or catch bass.
My folks live on a 45 acre lake (really an old borrow pit) that is loaded with fish. The sac-a-lait are the biggest I've ever caught. I've also caught several bass, but they rarely come in over about 12 inches. I'm assuming the bass in there are stunted and I would like to start moving some to my neighborhood pond. Is this legal? Any advice by those that have done this would be appreciated.

don't put the sac-a-lait in your neighborhood pond. Its too small. Not if you want to catch bass and bream.

It is legal, but you have to be careful. They are delicate and will die easily. Try getting a large ice chest or plastic drum. Fill it up with water from the pond you are catching them in. Once you get them all in, you should put a little ice in the water if it is hot and a long haul.
Very likely. Sac-au-lait are like bass, as they are aggressive feeders, but they are one of the only fish that will not eat their own. Sac-au-lait take over a lot of ponds because of this. This is also why many people do not stock their ponds with sac-au-lait.
And when do you want me to come with you to help catch some fish to relocate?

The easier thing may be to go to a feed store and check whhe stocking trucks are there. You can buy 2-3 in or 4-6 in bass and stock yourself. Transporting should probably be done in the fall after the water cools a bit
