LakeL :

In your 2 posts you had plenty of info . I should have looked at both before starting a reply.

TF are a pelagic fish {open water} which often school. They spawn when water temps. are in the 65 - 70 degree range. One female can produce 10,000 + eggs per spawn . In warm fertile ponds they can reproduce at 2.5+- inches and offspring can grow at a rate of 1 inch a month. I think given your location that the larger TF have spawned as have your other forage fish. Your forage base looks good to me for your first stocking of bass. You should watch and enjoy the show and evaluate your forage needs late this year and then decide on the next step. You may want to look on line at SRAC {Southern Regional Aquaculture Center} publication no. 141 on forage species. ewest
