Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on January 24, 2011 at 3:00pm: So, they must grow an inch a month?

Comment by Magnolia Rick on January 24, 2011 at 2:40pm: I had a few in the pond before I stocked it. They spawn. Lot of 3 to 4" bass, and gills and talapia Just waiting on warmer weather.

The bass I'm catching are 12 to 14" long.

Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on January 23, 2011 at 8:20am: Didn't you put your bass in last summer? Did they already spawn? I thought they didn't do that for a few years.

Comment by Magnolia Rick on January 23, 2011 at 7:55am: same down here. catch a few little bass but no gills they are still feeding but waiting on the pebbles to sink before they git it.

Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on January 22, 2011 at 10:33am: I always worry about my fish surviving the winter too Billy. They seem dead in there. Hardly eat at all. Sometimes a GSF will wake up and bite, but hardly anything eats the pellets anymore. Haven't seen any of the fry that were so plentiful in the fall.

Comment by Billy Fason on January 22, 2011 at 9:51am: BTW to all my friends here, Happy New Year

Comment by Billy Fason on January 22, 2011 at 9:50am: Pond is frozen over with snow on it. This is Cabot, Arkansas for crying out loud, not Wisconsin! Hope my babies are all right in my ponds...LOL Put 3 inch Black Crappie in my large pond summer before last and wonder how big they should be now? Have not caught nor seen one yet. Guess will have to buy some minnows this spring and see what I can catch. Seen thousands of small bream about an inch long in the shallows, prior to the bad weather Ponds are full of water again after dry summer.

PH at about 7.4 so looks good there. Will areate the large pond this spring and start fertilize too. Feeding only once every two weeks now. Also going to try some Pond Clean this spring to introduce some Bacteria that is supposed to clean out about five to six inchs of bottom much a year and cut down on the rotting leaves and such.

Comment by Magnolia Rick on January 8, 2011 at 6:48pm: ya I caught 1 gill and 3 bass slow fishing

Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on January 8, 2011 at 6:15pm: I actually caught a fish in my pond today. First time in months I even got a nibble. Green sunfish about 6". Released it to the creek below the dam.
