Thanks Bob! I read Pond Boss cover to cover and pretty much all of my ideas come from there. Also went and toured a handful of places around the southeast to see what was working well for them.
Tilapia is a little bit of a grey area in NC but if I did stock i would probably wait until the bass were larger. We've used them in another pond and they really dominated that bream beds and I'm not sure it didn't hurt us a little long term.
Random question for somebody smarter than me, but does stocking a really low ratio of males actually help with reduced spawning or am I just starting out with a larger % of females that have the potential to get bigger? Another way of asking it is can one male bass get as busy as ten without the competition.
Ive looked into prawns, but my understanding is that it would be an annual deal and they can be finicky. I'm interested but the first folks I talked to weren't as confident that it would work.
