Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a while. There's so much information here that it seems like there's not much left to say. :)

I've recently purchased a bit of land with a 2.5 acre pond stocked with LMB, Black Crappie, and bluegills. I've been fishing it with a 10' jonboat and have had some success. On Sunday a neighbor kid caught a 17" LMB that weighed 2lb 10 oz. You can catch 12" bass all day, and I've seen some real nice ones, but haven't hooked them yet. There are a lot of 10"+ crappies in there, too.

This evening I caught 2 -12"er's both on 5" baby bass senkos. This is my first try with senkos and I lost them both. :P Also caught another the same size on a creme worm. And a brown bat on a berkeley power worm.

I haven't fished since junior high 15 yrs ago so this is a lot like starting from scratch. But so far it's been good.

    Welcome.

    Sounds like you should thin out some of the smaller bass.

    Thanks guys. We do need to remove some of those 12" bass but it's slow going with just me and a 5 yr old. :)  There are only 4 or 5 other people who fish here occasionally. Lots of people have asked permission, but they haven't come back. Go figure...

    How do I determine how many should be removed?

    Take out what you think is "alot" and then remove some more.   ;)

    Welcome to the forum and return to fishing! Alot of great info on small pond and bank fishing can be found here. I'm in Milford PA right at the top of the Water Gap. You might also like the PA thread in the NE regional forum. Enjoy!
