I have new 13� deep 3/4 acre pond and stocked 500 bluegill and redear at 80/20, 100 channel cat, and 1000 fathead minnows last March. I�ve read on here to stock the bass next year so I will. I�ve feed the fish until now and there are small ones everywhere
I read in �Basic Pond Management� that in ponds less then one acre just add a 1000 channel cats and fathead minnows, but have no interest in doing that so I started looking for other options.
I like the idea of having trophy size largemouth so would pellet trained ones work, or would the hybrid striper be best for a trophy size bass? I will be feeding them with what ever it takes of floating pellets and starting to aerate with a bottom diffuser next year.
Also what would be a good stocking number?
