31 March FishingEach year we try to go out our way for a couple of days to move fish from populated ponds to new ponds or lakes that don't have many fish.
There are many theories of what species to stock and what species not to stock, but we just do it the old fashioned way and stock with what we are able to catch that day.
On this particular day, we moved four nice crappies and a half dozen bass to a pond that didn’t show any evidence of having fish.

Just about all of the ponds, pits and lakes are full from all of the rain we’ve had the last couple of weeks, which is is something we haven’t seen for 3 or 4 years. On the big bodies of water it will spread the fish out over excellent shoreline cover for the fish to hide, feed and spawn.
Whenever you stumble into a nice bass like this one, catch and release is the only way to go.
