    Default Strange change in pond


    The 2 acre pond that I fish has changed. You could go out for 2 or 3 hours and catch 15 or 20 bass around 1 to 1.5 pound. They are scarce this year. Just last week I saw 2 mink running throught the cattails. Could they be the reason for the change?

    I’m sure they eat a few, but completely eat them all, I doubt it.

    They may have caused the fish to change their habits. Also the fish may be pressured by them being around
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    Those mink are eating machines. No doubt the fish had to wise up fast.

    I seriously doubt a couple of two-three pound mink are cleaning out a pond. Especially since the male will be wondering all over.
