Yes, you can have a pond with white bass fishing. Norm Kopecky has proven again and again that non-traditional species can be enjoyed in ponds.

The question is less "can white bass survive and reproduce in a pond" than it is "can white bass thrive in a pond".

HSB will eat pellets like crazy--I'm not sure if WB will. This leaves you with the challenge of taking a pelagic predator like a white bass and having them thrive without pelagic opportunity. If you can do it, then great, I'd like to hear about it. But I'm skeptical about smaller water bodies. Unless you're willing to do a tremendous amount of supplemental stocking, I'd be surprised if you can covert naturally available energy, in the form of sunlight, into white bass biomass. White bass are inefficient at utilizing bluegill, so you'd almost certainly need to find a way to get a high density gizzard shad population established.

Think of it this way. If you're going to take out biomass from a pond (harvest fish), then you have to replenish it. There's only two ways to do this. Stock more fish (pain in the butt, long term) or let mother nature push biomass up the web from algae to zooplankton to smaller fish to piscovores (white bass). I think that a two acre pond cannot sustain enough white bass growth to provide anything more than an occasional bonus white bass, that's probably in poor body condition.

Norm Kopecky is a good expert on this sort of thing. He adds various species, including Morone to his pond for large amounts of enjoyment to the people that fish it. I think he would be the first to admit that the white bass don't put on a tremendous amount of weight in his system.

I'd love it if you prove me wrong. I've been a white bass afficionado since I was a little tyke. They're great.
