In mid-summer and during hottest weather fish for stocking are hard to locate. Check around and a fall or early spring stocking should still be okay. Gambusia don't get very big and what you are catching are breeding adults. They stay near the surface where they get most of their food items - msotly small hatching insects such as mosquito larvae. Male Gambusia stay smaller than the females. They are good forage for 2"-6" bass. Larger bass waste a lot of energy eating Gambusia and use them mostly when other forage is lacking.
