Fishman, I think you're a little short on # of bluegills and redear. I have never seen recommendations of less than 750 per acre. Never seen anybody put 500 per acre when tossing the predators in at the same time.
Other thoughts. I'm not sure I wouldn't raise forage in a smaller pond just to put off the day when the bass become overstocked.
Hey Marty, You live next to the worlds number one bass factory, Lake Fork. Down the road, it would be hard for me not to put a couple of those whoppers in my ponds. Also, I just saw an advertisement from Tyler Fish farms advertising coppernose for $350 per thousand. I think there was a 10% redear mix in there.
