Here is the point. Do you want to pay for and stock 1000+ BG per acre in May/June - let’s say 3000 BG @ .25 = $750+ or do you want to risk $50-100 and buy 50 advanced 4-6 inch BG and stock them in November and watch them spawn in April/May @ +- 20,000 offspring per couple - that’s 500,000 potential new BG . Many will be morts but you will get a lot more to 3-5 inches by summer’s end than by stocking 3000 2 inch fish in May. Of course you can split the risk and do some of both and have several size classes by next fall. My usual choise
It’s all about the time , risk , availability , goals and planning.[/quote]
I think an esentiale pharametre,is to be honest/realistic in assesment, off costs/risk/effort involved, and that vill allways have to include the naturale Advantadges/Dissadvantedges within grasp/reach, an play along with them, at the best off your own knoledge/exsperience, wich vill keep growing for as long you are up/in to it.
So put in a stake you can afford to loose, in balance with, lesson learnd I`d like another go.
