I have a newly constructed pond that I stocked in April. It is 1 @1/3 ac in size. I stocked 300 channel cats from 4 to 8 inches long, 200 red-ears; 400 coppernose from 1inch to hand size and 125 large mouth bass(native/Florida mix). I feed daily and am seeing cats about 10in to 14 in in size. I have caught some bream on a barbless hook and released that are hand size. I have never seen the bass to this day since stocking(were 2 inch long). When should they make an appearance and how long do you think they are now(checked for several days after stocking and did not see any dead ones). I put in about 10000 fat heads at time of stocking for a forage base. Any advice or comments appreciated.
