How much is too much?

LubbockFisher · 07-29-05, 07:04 PM

I fish a 10 acre or so pond alot. How often is too often to fish it? I have a tendacie to stay inmy one spot on the pond, there is a sand bar with trees on the drop off i like to fish. Is 4-5 times a week for 2-3 hours too much?

Those fish HAVE to eat every day of their lives. You might condition them to certain lures only, to live bait only, change their feeding times, or something of that nature; but if there is still fish in that pond you will never stop them from biting. You may change their behavior but they will always be hungry. If you have a fish aquarium you can observe this too, I have learned a lot from mine....soon as that light hits the tank they are ACTIVELY searching for...yes you guessed it...food.

Over fishing it is another story.....what I mean by over fishing is taking all the good reproducers out....as long as you practice sound catch and release, and do not kill the fish off....no worries should touch your fishing conscience.

well if you keep fishing that one particualer place everyday, eventually thell move, i consider going to a different spot everyday until yuo have 6,7,8 places where ther really biting. that way you wont be scaring them off so often
