That’s about 1/5 acre and bass need, at a minimum1.5 acres. That’s on the low end. Bass need bluegills to feed on and bluegills need bass to keep their numbers in check. Both have the tendency in small ponds to over populate and perish due to oxygen depletion.
For your sizeTexas pond, I would recommend hybrid bluegills and hybrid stripers. Either install a feeder or hand throw good quality fish food. I would stock 200 hybrid bluegills and about 20 stripers.
BTW, what part of orth Texas?

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
