Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Introducing perch

If the sandpit has weed beds the perch will have a better survival rate. With high numbers of bass do not expect very many new perch from reproduction. Bass will eat most all the small slender bodied perch before they reach 8" long which can be a period of 2 to 3 years. To keep a population of larger harvestable perch you will need to periodically stock the 7"-8" size group. Number to stock per acre will depend on the size of your wallet and the frequency that you want to catch a perch.
