I don't know if this really counts, but we recently bought a place in rural Tennessee with a small pond stocked with bluegill and, allegedly, catfish. I haven't been fishing much since I was a kid, but recently my 10-year-old daughter and I have been fishing frequently in that pond and almost always can get a little bluegill within minutes. We're still waiting for our first catfish.

I'm blessed to be living just down the road from a guy who runs The Catfish Supply Company so I get all my fishing gear from him and he gives out free advice. It's been fun and I'm looking forward to more fishing.

I'm thinking of either expanding that pond or putting in a second pond. I have a lot to learn about this sort of thing. I did add a few grass carp and about 10 little catfish to the one pond we've got which is about 1500 to 2000 sq. ft. on the surface. Does anyone have a good source of information on these ponds?

Great source about ponds. Read "Ask the Pond Boss forum."

Take one of those small bluegills you catch, cut one fin off, then put it on a hook. Big cats LOVE wounded bream.
