Good growth on those bass for one year.

If I caught a crappie, I would keep it. Those eating machines can be a real problem for anything less than 25 acres. It's usually a question of when and not whether.

I believe that I would restock a couple thousand more coppernose. Some recommend 1,000 per acre but an awful lot of us in Texas are thinking about 2,000 per acre with bass added later. Those sunfish are the backbone of the pond.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
