My lake, pond, mud hole or whatever you want to call it (6-7 acres) was stocked on April 15. I ordered 4500 CNBG, 1500 redear, and 30lbs FHM. When the fish truck got there, Clint, the guy stocking it said that they threw in an extra 1000 or so CNBG since they couldn't separate them or something like that. I said, hell that works for me. Anyway I'm looking at a healthy population of bait for the bass when they get here. They should be here later this month at the rate of 375 LMB 1/2 northern, 1/2 floridas, with 300 CC also.
How do these number sound to you pros?
And is there anything that I can do to help the CNBG along?
When should I expect to see significant growth out of them?
The fish that I can see from the shore look bigger than when they were stocked but then again who knows. There is plenty of structure for all and I even noticed that the FHM have already spawned because I saw itty bitty fish no longer than my pinky nail swimming in the shallows (Not tadpoles).
Any suggestions on anything?
Oh and those diving swimming water birds (cormorants i think) don't react very well to accurate fire from an AR-15!!!
