I stocked 500 CNBG fry, 100 RES and lots of Fatheads initially and then about 6 months later put in twenty five 8-9 inch bluegill. The following fall when the pond was about a year old, I put in twenty five 8-10" LMB. I also have thousands of gambusia that appeared through spontaneous generation!

Best I can tell I have had 2-3 LMB spawns. Last year I put in 20lbs. of Tilapia and plan on doing the same this weekend.

Most of the bass I catch are in the 12-14 inch range or the 8-10 inch range. I can see smaller LMB among the schools of bluegill fry. My water is a bit too clear. I am not sure if that is good or bad for the forage. This year I have a FA crop blooming that hopefully the Tilapia will clean up. I appreciate the input.
