I have a old pond about an acre, I want to expand it to about 2 1/2 to 3 acres. It has catfish, Florida bass and hyb. bluegill in it right now. The catfish is doing well in the pond right now, but the bass are all about 10" long. I would really like to put in f1 bass and coppernose bluegill into the pond after the expansion.
I will not have to drain the pond all the down to do the expantion but it will need to be brought down about 4 to 5 feet.
My question is would it be better to start over and restock or just do a survey and do a stock fish as needed?
Not sure how to display pic of my pond, is there anyone who could help me with this?
