			<description><![CDATA[ Is this your lake?  Your property?  If so you may consider the below options:<br>
<br>
1.  Sounds like you need preditor fish, bass, pike, catfish, etc. Consult your State Fish agency.  The lake needs &quot;balance.&quot;<br>
 <br>
2.  There may be O2 depletion.  Less than 4 ppm will kill and stunt fish.  You may have too much decomposition of natural materials, woods, hay, or lake weeds dying off.  All these change the water chemistry and affect everything in the water.   Add aerator, or... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Your state &quot;Game &amp; Fish&quot; Commission -- or what ever it is call in your state -- should be consulted.  They will come and do a survey of the lake and it's fish.  Then make recommendations to &quot;balance&quot; the lake.  <br>

			<description><![CDATA[ John,<br>
I have fished small waters almost exclusively for over 50 years. Two things I have seen when ponds go downhill...<br>
1) Underharvesting of gills, crappie, &amp; bullheads, and/or overharvesting of bass. I do NOT keep bass at all or larger (over 8&quot;) gills. Try fishing it HARD for gills for this year &amp; next...do not release any panfish &amp; do not keep any bass &amp; see what happens.<br>
2) The absolute RUINATION of 3 old favorite ponds has been the stocking of too many... ]]></description>

John it seems to me the states answer to this problem in the past has been to introduce pike or some such predators and to encourage keeping the white bass which do seem to take over lakes. ]]></description>
