Originally posted by GW: What would be a good goal as far as numbers of GSF to collect for this 1/5 acre pond? It's currently at half of normal pool. I may order 500 Gams to stock and wait for 2 or 3 weeks before adding the GSF. During this time I would begin pellet training the Greenies in a netted area of Mr. H's 7 acre pond. Are the Gams worth it ($100) with that short time frame? Once the GSF are in the pond they will be pellet fed daily. I'm thinking that maybe I should forget about waiting for the Gams to multiply so that I have a better chance of a GSF spawn this year.
Any thoughts?
This is going to be an interesting experiment GW!
Is the pond 1/5 acre at half full or are you saying that it's 1/5 at full pool and so therefore it is currently at 1/10 acre?
Bruce has a ton of experience in raising large sunfish - I would think all of the same rules and recommendations apply whether your are raising BG or GSF.
