Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Pellet feeding SMB

In my experience, no matter how dense my FHM population has ever grown to, once SMB or HSB are introduced they were extirpated in a matter of months. If you are in a hurry Bobby is right, only way to do it is money whip it with denser forage stockings.

I share and understand your impatience but strongly encourage you establish a strong forage base prior to stocking apex predators. You've waited a lifetime for the pond, what's another season to do it the proven way? Ultimately it's up to you of course.
