pond management/guiding business out of Columbia
 

Hi All. TK has been nice enough to allow me to make a mention of my business on here. I have a small pond management company, do everything from fish stocking, to aquatic herbicide application, to aeration and automatic fish feeder sales and installation, to yearly management plans; I also guide on a few private ponds and lakes in the area, mainly for trophy bluegill but also have some pretty huge bass in a few ponds and one larger lake. I have gotten fish from as far away as Minnesota and Texas, and regularly deal with the top hatcheries in Alabama and Arkansas.

Here are a few photos of fish that have come from ponds and lakes I manage this year - the largemouth were all caught from one lake in one afternoon and the next morning of fishing:

Let me know if I can help in any way with your pond, or if you'd like to catch your personal-best bluegill or bass. This is a great forum and I'm happy to be a part of it.

This was caught yesterday from a pond I manage and guide on:

How much would it be for four people to go on a trip?

Thanks for the interest, Fish Whisperer. I'll send you a PM with details on pricing.

custom rods I build
 

One of these is included in a guided trip - I also sell them:

Took my mom fishing for a couple hours this afternoon - the bite was slow, but she did catch this northern-strain bluegill on her first cast, right at 16 oz.:

We also caught two 14-oz. bluegill, a 13-oz., and this hybrid that was slightly larger:
