My lake is overpopulated

Featured Replies

In the last 4 months I have fished my neighborhood lake a ton.  It always produces a very good number of bass, but they are all dinks for the most part.  Since July my fishing partner and I have only caught 5 fish over 3 lbs, they were also pretty skinny for their head size.  Now I believe this lake/pond, it is very small, needs to have some bass harvested to balance out the population.  But I have read enough post on the subject to know that I'm no biologist and a professional should be consulted.

So my question is, is there a gov't agency that does this type of analysis for free?  Or where do I go about finding a fisheries biologist to help me out? Also if this will most likely cost money does anyone have a clue to what the fee range would be?

Thanks BR.
