Hello all,

Great forum y'all have here. I moved down to Jacksonville a little over a year ago and moved into a condo on a lovely little pond (about 5 acres) as my backyard (when you live in the swamp, everybody has water front property :D )

When we first got here in Oct '07, I could catch HUGE blue gills and bream at will. I had all the neighborhood kids thinking I was the greatest fisherman in the world. They'd come by to play with my daughter, I'd put the pole in their hands, tell them where to cast it, and bang! fishon!

Then I started catching bass. Mostly < 1lbs, but one great mule one night.
Ever since then, I can always go find a little bass in a few casts but I can't buy a panfish! I think I might have kept a total of 3 fish, but everything else went back to swim.

What gives? Were there only 3 panfish in the pond? Did I scare them all off? Have I just lost my mojo? Help! I gotta restore my neighborhood king of the pond status (instead of just grumpy old man ;D )

Thanks,
Wali
