Think about a man made lake. Its nothing more than a big pond and it works.
Especially when thay add hybrids. Speaking of, I have not seen them come up at the creek in 2 seasons.

Late summer used to be good for schoolies. Nothing but the largemouth bass last two seasons. I'm not really complaining.

We have a small pond stocked with bass, catfish, and copper nose bream. Been a year and already catching a shite load of pound and a half catfish and and catfish 7 or 8 inches long. Bream seem to be taking over as well. I see tons of baby bream along the banks. We are throwing bait minnows in there constantly to try and keep up

No doubt. Its good ones occasionally but I have had the hardest time catching those little suckers until last year. I finally got a couple baits that work well. Its so hard to match the hatch on what there chasing.
I will smoke them on a alabama rig this year though.

The Bass Pro version of the Little George catches anything schooling out there. They have them at Pineville Marine.

Thats basically what I have.
Im determined to catch some good ones on a A rig though this year. We will see. Hell with twins on the way in August, I will be lucky to even be fishing come late summer.

Any of you know of situations where ponds sustain healthy populations of all four species?


We have had all four species in our big pond for over 20 years. Now, that doesn't mean we haven't had to do a little management over the years. We usually keep every bream or white sac-a-crappie we catch and we go back and forth on keeping bass depending on how the population balance seems to be. We put catfish in every couple of years as they don't reproduce in the pond.

It can be very tough to manage.

As much as I like catching and eating crappie, I'd rather have a stock tank be bass and perch. That's what we did with my grandmother's pond, and it is very very easy to manage the population.

bass and sacalait do not coexist well


bullshite!

I have both in my pond with no problems. Yes, a lot of people will say not to mix. As to why? Hell, they both live together in the wild.
