Stocking Bass - 03/19/24 04:23 PM
My one acre, 16 ft deep lake in East Texas is spring fed with about 4 gallons a second. The pH is 6.2 but the alkalinity is 20 and sometimes less. I don't think I can raise the alkalinity because of the high water flow. The lake was built last August and at that time I added 10 lbs of FHM and 500 3-4" CNBG. They seem to be OK and spawning. I plan to add 100 2-3" Redear Sunfish next week. I feed twice a day for one second each. I want a sunfish & bass fishery and plan to add bass in mid to late summer. I've read it's not a good idea to mix northern LMB with Florida strain or Hybrids. Is that true?
I'm leaning toward stocking 50 Northern LMB.
