thanks for the responses. think I am leaning more towards a pond to harvest fish to eat. so would a mix of say bluegill, hybrid bluegill, redear bluegill, perch, catfish and small amount of lm bass be good to stock together? also thought about getting a few stripers just because I used to live on marthas vineyard for a few years and caught them all the time, well real stripers I guess. or would more predators be needed to control bluegill population? I know the redear and hybrid don't reproduce as much but am still learning.


.75 acre pond dug in September 2016. YP, HBG, HSB, SMB, and RES.
