Thanks guys! Both og you made alot of sense and I appreciate the
feedback.... I will start with some stucture sinking and try to
figure a way to put larger bass in there. I don't have a trailer to
take the boat to a regular lake though. Didn't know catfish ate bass


Bass are great catfish bait, where it is legal to use them


- I have a feeling they could be a reason, and, the bluegill pop. has
decreased the last few years...



I think you need to do some fishing with "live" bream for bait, (catch
them out of your stream) if you have some big cats in there, you can
catch some of them out using live bream for bait. If you have any trees
over hanging the bank, set as many limb lines as you can with live
bream, and leave them over night. Keep setting them until you stop
catching those cats

I can catch 8 to 9 inchers from a
stream do the road but I heard 'stream' bass might not be good...
true?



Stream bass are sometimes stunted, they could be a few years old and
only 8 inches long, this is due to lack of food though, and not
genetics. This just means when they get all the food they can, they will
not live long enough to grow big enough to be a trophy

They could produce some good bass when they spawn though
