Pond Management
Hello. New to the site and new to a pond. I am in the Tampa FL area and recently bought a house with a 1.25 acre pond that was covered 100% in Lilies. I have cleared a few to make room to fish, but mostly catch smallish sunfish(or I am miss remembering my youth). Looking for help in growing some bigger ones. There seem to be some big bass, but not very many. I have attaced a few pics and the fish log I started.Spirit%20Pond%20Fish%20Log.xlsx
