I kinda like the GSF route. It's easy and cheap and fun. The HBG could be a step up if you would rather just buy some fish rather than bucket stock from outings at local ponds. I think the BH route is a proper option too, but I would have to throw in some pan-fish. If the pond gets overpopulated, you could put a few flat heads in and grow some monsters and then jug-line them out and do it again. That's my plan if my pond ever goes south. The shallowness of it and being in NJ would keep me from spending much money on fish. Find some local holes, go fish for an hour and bring them home whatever you catch. A few times and you have a "thrown caution into the wind pond". How carefree is that? Here, most of us fret and sweat the details, you have a blessing in disguise.
