Thank you gentlemen for the good information. You've opened up my narrow mind to new possibilities :-) My mind is now flooded with thoughts and questions.
With the pond being 1 acre and it's max depth of 14', I guess I've just never given any thought to adding SMB or HSB. I find this very intrigueing! :-)
It also concerns me a bit drainging/killing. Wouldn't that take a LONG time to get back to productive fishing again? Or with it being October, now would be the ideal time to do it?
What kind of costs would I be looking at if I did that?
On the BG side. Are there any pro's or con's to having several species of panfish (Sunfish, BG, pumpkinseed, etc...)? Do the LGB or SMB mind which kind are in there? I wouldn't think so...but I don't know. Also, should I consider getting rid of all the catfish?
If I went with SMB, LMB and HSB, can they all co exist? Will there be enough food?
That's enough questions for now... Thank you all again for all the great insight! Looking forward to reading your answers!
