Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait A good source for threadfin shad?

I'm in hillsborough county about 15 miles east of Tampa.

Do you think I would have a better chance of establishing golden shiners, threadfin shad or gizzard shad in an 8 acre pond that has a relatively young bass population? I have bluegill and red ear stocked as forage but I feel that the bass are putting quite a strain on them.
