Pat, as a newbe to pond building and stocking, and just leaning from what I have seen and read, I am thinking what u experienced with the bucket stocking would be a set back forsure.
And to adjust, because we all adjust to what is thrown out there at us. It just takes u in a different plan of action and more greenbacks.
I understand what u r saying about the pallets but how many is enough? haha I can see it now, pallets scattered all around a 3.52 acre pond. 200 yds long and 100 yds wide. that's a lot of pallets to pick up after the spawn. And I am good at pointing and saying get that one,
. But I'm not so good about climbing up and down steep banks with pallets in hand.
