Plan to stock 500 pure flordia fingerlings in a 5 acre pond this fall. The purpose of this is to diversify the genetics. This pond has not had any outside genetics for many years. The existing bass population is probably hybrid but exibit mainly northern characteristics. The largest caught is 5.5 pounds, with a good mix of small, medium and large. I have been removing all bass greater than 12" but less than 15" for three years. I expect about 10 to 20% of the fingerlings to survive. I also plan to add 30 F1's 6 to 8" size. I use protein feeders, stock tilapia and add cnbg from brood pond. No fertalizer. Will report back as to results.
