Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Gizzard Shad

To further LBuck's question a little, how much of a boost would LMB get by having sluggish, disoriented prey twice a year (trout in the late Spring/early Summer, tilapia in late Fall/early Winter)? I believe the tilapia die-off coincides well with the LMB pre-Winter gorging period, but how does the trout expiration temp range match up with LMB pre-spawn/post-spawn feeding habits?

This combination of seasonal supplemental forage stocking strikes me as having a huge potential - like the improvement in Football team performance when they stopped expecting players to play both offense and defense for 60 minutes, letting them perfect one and rest for part of the game.
