My parents bought property that had a 30 year old pond in the fall of 2013. We pumped it empty and removed a ton of 4 to 5 " bluegills a few 8 to 10" crappie and little bullheads. We let it refill over winter, and added aeration then in the spring of 2014 we stocked the following.
75 Largemouth Bass 3-4”
25 Hybrid Striped Bass 3-4”
175 Bluegill Sunfish 2-4”
75 Hybrid Bluegill 2-4”
75 Redear Sunfish 2-4”
4 Triploid White Amur 8-11"
The bass and bluegill both spawned that spring after stocking. Last fall the HSB were 11 to 12", the LMB 10"' bluegill 5 to 6".
Edit to add photo
My question is.
How should we manage the fish?
