Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Threadfin Shad

So been checking around on prices for Thread fin shad. Best deal I have found so far is for 6000 2" to 3" shad for $1200 delivered to my pond.

My question is this. I can catch these from a local large body of water, but most of the ones I catch will be in the 4" to 6" size with larger gizzard shad thrown in as well. I can transport about 200 at a time to my 7 acre lake.

I am thinking that of course some of these will be too large for my bass to eat but maybe they could start spawning and then I could build up a population??

Thoughts??
