I have a few questions about this. Have a pond that is about 1 acre stocked april 08 with 1200 cnbg. I want to know what is the size and amount of lmb to add to this pond. I also need to know who I can get these from that will deliver to south LA. thanks for the help.
What size were the CNBG when stocked ? Does the pond have a plankton bloom (green tinted water)? Are you feeding pellets. What are your goals for the pond?
SECOND GOALS QUESTION. iF FEEDING WHAT ARE YOU SEEING NOW, MOSTLY 4-5 INCH CNBG OR ALL SIZES? DANG CAPS LOCK
If you want good bass I suggest fingerligns at a rate of 50-75/acre. You will not have too mnay bass the first year but growth will be great with that stocking over a year ago. Calvin I can get you a hatchery # that will ship them to you. If larger bass another situation. BTW we got the crawfish last week, 2400 lbs, thanks for your advice.
Greg, do you know what species of crawfish they are?
Greg I am glad to here it. We have been doing alot of eating of those the last couple weeks. I still cant believe yall just feed them to the fish.
CJB I dont know what kind we have down here I just know their to good to just through in for fish food.
lots of bream all sizes up to 8" being feed with a bloom and air. want a bass pond. big bream on beds now not eating mostly last years spawn feeding lots of 2-6" fish. wanted to stock larger bass than the normal fingerlings. dont know how many or what size.
red swamp wild caught.
start slow with sub adult bass. maybe 25 this year max.
I would go with 25 6 inch LMB. At your location any of the 3 types (Fla , F-1s or Northerns) will work and a mix of them might work well.
