I have a three or four year old pond in South Carolina that is about an acre +or- depending on the water level and is just feed with rain/runoff water(just bought the place last year) the pond is about 12' deep on the deep end. On 15 Mar 2010 we stocked 750 Bream (250 were Shellcrackers). The Bream were a max of 3" long when stocked and some are now close to 7" to 8" but only 2.5" to 3" deep. The bream have spawned we can see many small 1" to 2" minnows. I want to stock some Large Mouth Bass and I was told to use a 10 to 1 ratio so about 70 Bass this fall or next spring. I was thinking I might try to stock say 30 bass this fall (now) and the rest next spring or should I stock all 70 now.

I might try to get some catfish too, but only say 5 to 10 or so.
