I've a stocking question,but first a bit of back ground. My pond is 13 acres and 50% flooded hardwood/pines located in east Texas. Spring fed and is 80% full. I treated it with 2 tons of lime per acre. The PH is about 6.8 . Last fall I stocked 1000 native blue gill per acre and 250 copper nose per acre, 75 lbs.of fat heads, 1000 threadfin per acre,100 channel cat 4-6 inches per acre with the intent to stock F-1 bass this spring. I feel the threadfins didn't do well due to poor delivery. This spring I intend to bring another order of fat heads , a double order of thread fins , 50 red ear(control snails) per acre, and 200 blue cat 6-8 inches. I plan to stock the F-1 bass the end of May at a 100 per acre 1-2 inches long. Should I be concern the the cat fish will polish off some of theses F-1 guys and move up in size ? Any feed back on my stocking plan would be appreciated.
