After adding structure to the pond and 25 lbs. of fathead minnows, there is still a long way to go in getting the bass fishery to where it needs to be. Just a couple of days ago, I was out soaking some mackerel chunks for channel catfish. To my surprise, I kept catching 1lb size largemouth bass. It tells me I have too many small bass and need to keep increasing my minnow/shiner forage fish content, besides getting rid of the small bass.
The bluegills are big fatties. I've seen their spawning areas, and the outcome of their last spawn was encouraging.
I hope to get my bass boat moved from Oceanside in the coming months and finally get out to Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake.
