Walt,
Thanks so much for the reply. I have read Bruce Condello's articles and have talked with him at the Pond Boss Conferences in Arlington, TX the last two years. I know Bob Lusk and have a lot of admiration for his knowledge and his willingness…
Glad to hear you've got an aeration system - that makes a big difference.
I'm also glad to hear you've got some bass in there. But, if big bluegill are your primary goal, you're still very, very high on the bluegill numbers, and your bass numbers a…
Walt,
Thanks so much for your response which contains a wealth of information. I should have mentioned, in addition to the coppernose and redear, I put in 30 lbs of fathead minnows for bass. Then two weekends ago, we put in 600 black bass fingerlin…
Feel free to send me a PM on this site. I'm a Purina spokesman, so I don't want to seem like I'm advertising.
In my opinion its a tremendous product. Bluegill grow like crazy on it.
I use Aquamax 500, though I'm about to try 600 (bigger pellets). Far more important than the food you use, though, I have to ask why you stocked so many bluegill? That's more bluegill per acre than what pond managers advise pond owners who care abou…
Asking Bruce Condello and other Big Bluegill Members to discuss their experience with feeding bluegill Purina fish food, and specifically which Purina fish food has produced the best results. Background/Facts: In March (3 months ago) we put 6,600 co…
We hope you enjoy this site, including the photos, discussions and videos. Let us know what you think.

Do you have a pond? If so, describe it.
4 acre fly fishing pond. I just invested $14,000. reworking it and have written an article for Pond Boss Magazine, but don't know if Bob Lusk will publish the article. I have learned a great deal about growing large coppernose bluegill from listening to Bruce Condello at the two Pond Boss Conferences I have attended and from reading Bruce's articles in Pond Boss Magazine.
Hi,
Don't know if this will help much but I'll tell you what I use for finicky shellcrackers here in Alabama.
My Ultralite pole has 10lb. powerpro moss green line.(it has the same diameter as 2lb. test.
I had the same problems with fireline and gave…
"The only thing better than a live cricket is... a dead one... the only thing better than a dead one ... is a 'Fake' one..."
Wish I'd a said that, except I ain't too sure about the fake one. I've had one for years in my tackle box. Never ran out of…
I use power pro specifically for spinning reels. It does a fantustic job. I even put it on my bait casters for a test and when I hit a my motor by accident and flipped a HUGE Bird nest I had it picked with in 2 min being very gentle. It works great…
I currently fish with 2 - 4lb Hi Vis Gold Stren (old eyes) ... tied to a 6 ft length of 2lb Maxima or 2lb Vanish Fluorocarbon leader. I fish with very small jigs 1/100th - 1/64th of an ounce... these jigs are normally tipped with a cricket, mealwo…

Caught them vertical jigging with plas…
