OK guys. Here is what I have so far. Let me refresh everyone's memory about the size of the pond. It will be between 2.5 and 3 surface acres, up to 28 feet deep, I plan on fertilizing, I probably will get a Lake Life Pump within 3 years. From what I gather the stocking numbers should be as follows.
October 2008: 1000 BG, 200 RES, 30 lbs. FHM, ? GAMS
May 2009: 100 LMB, 100 FSB, 100 F1, 200 CC
2012: introduce threadfin and gizzard shad, crappie
I'm unsure of the number of GAMS to stock. What do you guys think? Any help is greatly appreciated.
the gam advice is good, you dont need many to start a major population provided they have some shallow weedy cover. just a gut reaction here cm, but i think yer ratio of BG to bass is too low. in other words my gut says either stock more BG for that many bass, or stock fewer bass for that many BG. what does anyone else think?
