I was doing some thinking about how to work on this pond that we have discussed so far. Original plan: First and foremost i'll be taking out almost all the fish(stunted bass) I can from now untill next fall. I'll put in 1000 3"-6" CNBG right before spawning season this spring. Then wait untill the fall and put in say 60 1pound Florida bass for genetics upgrading. Floridas gonna run me $840.
Question. What if I put in 6-8" Florida bass in the lake this spring Instead of the larger fish this winter? Would this be a better Idea? These fish would have the whole growing season to get bigger and will have plenty to eat when the CNBG spawn. 100 of these cost $350 not $840. I could take the money I saved and add 600 more CNBG or 45lbs or Tilapia or shad for example. As long as the 6-8" Floridas don't get eaten this might be a better way to distribute my dollars. Im not real sure how many Florida bass im supposed to add be it 1lb or 6-8" when they are serving to upgrade genetics?
What do you think?
Also I had one more thing to ask, when your looking at stocking numbers, CNBG are something like 500-1000 per acre for what i've seen. 500-1000 of What size fish? Are these 1-3" or 3-6"?
