bream and bass are absolutely thriving, even in the summer heat.

My BiL has a "duck" pond that is about 1/3 acre and average depth of like 18". A lot of places its a foot and the very deepest is 3'...counting the mud you sink into. Pond was never meant for fish but was stocked with mosquito minnows for obvious reasons. About a year and half ago for shits and giggles he threw a couple small bass and small crappie into the pond. FF to the other day when he drained it to do some maintenance he found one bass and one crappie. The bass was 2lbs and the crappie 1lb. I guess they ate like kings with all those minnows to themselves. Never would've guessed that shallow of a pond that gets NASTY in the summer would allow those fish thrive.
