You have a very typical bass heavy/forage light pond. The predators, including larger BG, are starving.

Start culling bass and never stop until they hit all hit 90%+. Although it works well on public lakes, Catch and Release plus too small to keep ruins Southern ponds.

The BG might be a good idea if, like Rex says, they are all 6+ inches. You would need a lot more than 250. But, without your help, the offspring will be eaten immediately. When you get to this point, more groceries won't solve the problem.

BTW, I'll bet the cats are also starving. Get rid of them if you can. They are also part of the problem.

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.
