[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3859623, member: 5412"] I have three ponds and some river front. I've seen what allowing people fish does. The trash and open gates left when they arrive or leave forced me to put a stop to that. Ponds 5 acres or smaller require intense management to produce quality fish and keep the food chain intact so the fish can get bigger. Buddy had a 2 acre pond that we managed for our kids to fish in. A 5-6 lb bass was common for the kids to catch and release as we removed the mid sized and smaller bass so the forage base of perch wasn't decimated. Buddy left the country for a job in the North Sea. His BIL who we had taken out there to fish with his son, snuck in there and caught a stringer of our big bass, taking them home to eat. He posted the pic on fakebook so there was no doubt what happened. It took us years of management for one person to ruin the pond in one day. [/QUOTE]
