Out and about doing monthly Kayak tournaments.. trying to prepare for kbf @guntersville in 2 weeks
Today, I had a tournament on a pond/lake that is overpopulated with fish. It is great for taking kids to catch fish. However, it stinks to catch bigger fish. The article emphasizes the importance of harvesting bass in small waters like ponds to maintain a healthy fish population. In small ponds, bass can quickly overpopulate, leading to stunted growth and an unbalanced ecosystem. Regularly removing smaller bass helps ensure enough food for the remaining fish, promoting the growth of larger, healthier bass. In small ponds, however, harvesting 15 to 35 pounds of bass per acre per year is often recommended to prevent overcrowding and support a balanced fishery1.
Took all week but finally got the skunk off my boat.
I caught this little guy in about 2 feet of water, swimming a jig down a blow over.
Born and raised on the Coast of Maine, within a family of lobstermen, I have had access to the many wonders of the Atlantic annually. Most times if I’m not chasing bass, I’m after strippers or blues. Definitely not picky on the SW though. What’s your SW fish?
Caught my first walleye ever on the St Lawrence River this week. 7lbs 6 oz, not a bad start. Epic week! PB for Smallmouth, Pike and Walleye.
Sometimes when you only have two hours to sunset it is worth getting out there to catch some nice ones.
