Hey everyone!

Matthew here from South Mississippi. I'm a huge fan of the site and magazine. I'm hopefully ready to contribute to others now!

Our pond (3 acres) began construction in April 2023 and was initially stocked in April 2024(Bluegill and Redear) and then followed up in October 2024(F1 Tiger bass and Fathead minnows).

Thanks for all the info and I look forward to more conversations!

Welcome to Pond Boss!!!


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Welcome. How are the forage and predators growing?


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.

I'm really happy with the bluegill. We can see a lot of different sizes when the feeder goes off and they react like little piranhas.

As for the bass, not sure yet. I posted a question about sampling them yesterday. The weather has been really nice the past week so my goal is to sample some soon if they're big enough and willing to bite!
