re: Pond advice

Had a 3 acre pond when I lived in MS.

The "fish pond expert" I hired said do you want catfish or bass.

Advice was add blue gill if you want bass and do not release back any bass you catch under 1 to 1.5 lb

If you want catfish, just introduce them and set up feeders.

I went bass and he was right. Only lived there 2.5 years, but a huge difference in the catch over the time.
