hard to catch fish

[Cowboy23]

i fish a pond were i have did good with bass crappie warmouth and bluegill but in the past 2 years it hard to catch anything so i am asking for any tips thanks

They're not especially intelligent creatures, but in a catch/release pond they'll eventually figure out not to eat during certain times of day and/or to not eat certain things. If you have a "go-to" lure you always use, you may need to learn a couple new techniques.

I have a pond down the street that used to be a great place to catch 1-2 lb largemouth and seemingly limitless numbers of bluegill, but it has apparently been fished out over the past few years. Used to see tons of fish swimming around near the shore. Now there aren't even any minnows. Maybe your pond is the same way now?

a good healthy jolt of electricity or a stick of dynamite will stun even the most reluctant fish

Get some fish food and throw out and see what responds .

Might be over run with terrapins

Turtles will eat fish, but they're not very fast swimmers. They're not able to catch the faster, healthier fish.
