If they are private ponds they may be exempt from state regulations.If you
can't find any other use for the small bass they make great fertilizer.I had
a small pond in Pendergrass,Ga. with the same problem years ago.We gave away
and ate as many as we could and turned the rest loose in the garden.They
grew some great veggies.

Whoops. I assumed they were legal. If not, then the suggestion to contact
local wildlife fisheries folks (say fisheries folks ten times very fast)
is the way to go.

I have two ponds that are over populated with small bass. All I can
catch
is
VERY small bass . How should I "clean" them out ?
Can a person give or sell them to a business ?
Or what do I do ?


Depending upon your location (urban, rural, countryside) you might
contact
a
local BASS Federation club about holding a youth tournament. Line the
rim
of
that pond with the next generation of bass anglers and let them do the
work
for you. Or, you might hold a "small fish" tournament where the most
fish
that weigh the least wins a prize. If you need a "sponsor" to make such
a
thing work, call on your local Kiwanis, Lions, etc. They would be glad
to
accept donations from the participants, would likely provide the
"prize",
and would certainly appreciate the press coverage likely to come with
it.
Anyway, just the thoughts of a rambling old man now retired with nothing
to
do but fish, hunt, and surf (the net).
