Would you release minnows into a private pond?

I have access to a pond on a golf course. In the spring it is loaded with pollywogs and then bullfrogs until late July. The Bass I catch here are small so I am wondering how they bulk up from August on? I added a dozen or so sunfish last year and never saw them again. Should I buy some bait minnows or shiners and put them in? Or let nature alone. Thanks

Minnows won't solve much. The problem in small ponds is the bass over populated. Bass growth will then become stunted. You should cull some of the smaller bass.

i have i very small pond its loaded with great bass!!! 2lbsers is awesome for this tiny pond!!!! it has a deeper part!! dont know the depth! last week i was seeing bait fish getting pushed up by bass!!!!! and they are hungry!!!!
its just chemistry! right balance between prey and preditor!!!!


then i have a decent size pond where theres alot of small bass and a few good ones!!!!!!
