DOUBLE THE VALUE OF YOUR HUNTING LEASE

Why Use Pond Management

If you create a wildlife opening on your hunting lease, plow it, lime it, fertilize it and plant it, then that green field will proving high-quality nutrition for your deer, allowing them to grow larger, quicker and provide a place for you to harvest bigger and better bucks. The more intensively you manage your green fields and the naturally-occurring deer browse on your property, the more big bucks your property can and will yield. To manage a farm pond, you need to keep a proper pH level, a correct amount of dissolved oxygen and high-quality water in the pond where your bass and bream live in. You also have to keep weeds from invading and taking over your pond. Make sure there's a balance of young fish, middle-aged fish and older fish in the pond at all times to produce the type of fishing I've described. However, just like you do your green fields, you'll have to fertilize, lime and sometimes aerate the ponds on your property.

A well-managed pond also may produce more fish than you possibly can catch. You need someone managing the fish population in the lake regularly and removing the surplus to keep the lake in balance. Just like a wildlife biologist can come in and write you a prescription for how to produce the most and biggest deer on your property, Southeastern Pond Management's fishery specialists can evaluate your pond and write you a prescription for how to produce the most and biggest fish in your pond.

If you have a managed farm pond for the members of your hunting lease or club, then any day the ducks don't fly, the deer don't move, or the turkeys don't gobble, you can bet on the bass or the bream in your farm pond to bite all year. You'll have the ability to turn a lousy day of hunting into a great day of fishing. To get more value from your hunting lease, consider incorporating a well-managed pond as a part of the lease. I like to go fishing, but I prefer to go catching. That's why I really enjoy visiting ponds managed by Southeastern Pond Management, where I know my friends, my family, and I always can catch bass and bream.
