Default pond management

I helped a guy a few weeks back on a fishing club. We stocked 60,000= 2'" bream for bass forage. $23.000.00 worth of those little fish and it is for the bass to eat. They had coppernose stocked years ago before the storm and they got to about 12" long and a good fighter. These ponds had a few bass caught from 5 to 12 lb before hurricane IKE hit here and flushed the ponds. Big bass were all up and down the hwy when we came home after the storm. They stocked the ponds after they got the saltwater out of the ponds. Bass fishing now you will usually catch a 3 lb to 5 lb bass each trip.
