Panfish Problem
Hey guys, I have a small (7 acre) pond in Iowa that has too many Bluegill (up to 2 lbs each) and Crappie (there are some 3 lb'ers in there). Anyone interested in a panfish tourney this summer with fish fry afterwards? I have a 12 acre campground on the property for camping (tents only right now as I haven't gotten it all cleaned up and to code for campers yet). There are 4 other ponds on the property that right now I have no idea whether or not they are stocked. Anyway, just a thought to have some fun and clean out some of my problem.

RE: Panfish Problem
Well I'm looking at the 4th of July weekend because I retire on July 1st and it's my favorite holiday of the year. I am checking into what the local requirements are for a fireworks permit and thought:
Friday - check in and fireworks display
Saturday - fishing tourney & fish fry, with other games for the families who don't want to fish
Sunday - Bass Tournament (Catch and release)
After that - leave when ever you want to.

RE: Panfish Problem
Depending on when your back, might be able to do that. May is the last month I'm working so I'll have my retirement physical and a lot of briefings on how to be a civilian. Let me know when you're gonna be back.
