Predictions for this stocking scenario? - 11/15/18 03:08 PM
I learned of someone yesterday who just stocked their newly filled 1 acre pond with the the following, all at the same time:
100LMB, 100 BCP, 500 CNBG, 200 Redear, 10,000 FHM.
To me, it seems like a disaster combination, since there is no existing forage other than the FHM he is stocking, which will go fast, and the BG will not have time to spawn before they are eaten by the bass, and of course, the BCP issue in such a small pond. Am I missing something, or does he know something I don't? He bought them from a fish truck at the feed store so I'm thinking that's maybe where he got his stocking advice as well. What do you think? Could this possibly work, or should I send him a subscription to Pond Boss for Christmas?
