J By FULTON LOVELL Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission PONDS FILLED TO BRIM WITH BREAM THERE are over 40,000 farm ponds in Georgia and most of them are filled to the brim with bream and bass. The number of backyard lakes is increasing at the rate of almost 3,000 per year and as it does more good fishing becomes available to Georgia anglers. The State Game and Fish Commission has a year-around program designed to help farmers with better management of their ponds. Each year millions of fingerling bream and bass are released in ponds throughout the state by fishery biologists. These little fish, if properly managed, us ually wind up the prey of some angler, armed with a pole and line, a can full of worms and an eagerness to relax in the peace and seclu sion of a still pond. "There is much more to pond management than stocking,” says Willard W. Thomaston, a biologist in the state’s farm pond investigation crew. “It takes plenty of work and a sound program of fish management.” Fulton Lovell Certai nsteps must be followed to product good fishing. For example, ponds should be fertilized frequently, just like corn and cotton. The amount of fertilizer depends on the fertility of the water but fishery biologists recommend a good fertilizing about ten times a year. “Good fertilization not only helps create acquatic life for fish to feed on,” said Thomaston, “but also helps curb one of the biggest pond problems in this state—weed growth.” Actually all a farmer needs to get started toward the construc tion of a pond is the land. Technical advice and assistance is provided by the Soil Conservation Service and Game and Fish Commission fishery biologists. SCS agents will test the soil type and watershed for prospective pond builders and help him choose a suitable location for his pond. Help and advice is also available from both services on building dams. “Every builder should insist that his pond site be cleared of brush, trees and other debris,” state biologist phil Pierce advised. “It is also important that the edges of a pond be cut approximately two feet deep to eliminate shallow water. This is necessary in order to eliminate weed growth around the edges.” Once the pond is constructed and filled with water, it is time to stock it with fish. Years of research and observation have proved that bass and bream are the most campatable fish for ponds. Bream are available at state hatcheries in the fall nd distributed, free of chrge, to owners who have made application to the Game and Fish Commission. Following the stocking of bream, bass should be released the fol lowing spring at the rate of 100 per pond acre. One thousand bream per acre are recommended for proper “balance” in fertilized ponds. When this chore is completed, the proprietor has to wait only until the bass spawn for the first time before raking his lure in search of a bass or dunking his worms in hopes of landing a pound bream. Bream may reach the half-pound mark after a year’s growth, provided the pond has been managed and fertilized properly. There is no set rule on how, when, how often or how much a pond should be fertilized. “It depends on the ponds,” chorused Herb Wyatt, w’no hands out advice on ponds in the Tifton area. "A good rule to follow is to put a fifty cent piece in your hand and stick it in the water up to your elbow. If you can see the fifty cent piece, the pond needs fertilizing.” Biologists recommend that the first application of fertilizer, either 8-8-2 or 20-20-5 formulas, be made in the spring and followed with subsequent applications as needed. One of the biggest problems that plague pond owners is that of undesirable weeds. But, thanks to moredn chemistry, they, too, can be solved. “Ponds with weed problems should very definitely be checked by experienced fishery biologists,” recommends Wyatt. “Chemical treatment is often recommended but proper knowledge of the chem ical and how to use it must be clearly understood. If it isn’t right, it can do more harm than good.” There are many misunderstood concepts of pond management that has owners confused. Among them: Do you drain farm ponds and restock them every five years?” “Definitely not,” says Thomaston. “If a pond is properly con structed, stocked and managed it will supply good fishing for an indefinite number of years.” “Is it safe to use shellcrackers in a pond insteam of bream?” “Shellcrackers usually cross with bluegills and produce a hybrid fish that does not reproduce,” Pierce informed. “Therefore, shell cracker fishing tends to fade out. It is usually successful, however, when shellcrackers are stocked along with bream, provided they do not exceed 20 per cent of the total bream population.” "What causes fish ‘kills’ in ponds?" "Fish kills can be caused by a variety of things,” Thomaston said, “but the most common one is lack of oxygen, especially in the summer. When this happens the best thing to do is either crank up an outboard motor and whirl around the lake several times or add 50 to 75 pounds of super phosphate fertilizer per acre of water.” "Should small bream be returned to the pond?” “No. Most ponds tend to become over populated with bluegills and adequate removal of fish is necessary to allow growth.” "Do bass and bream in farm ponds fight as hard as those found in larger lakes?” "Most of ’em do,” Pierce smiled. “And studies have shown that you can probably catch four times as many fish in well managed ponds as yon can in large lakes.” Let’s see.
