Thank you guys for the excellent feedback. That is why I joined this site, because alot of yall have already dealt with starting ponds and managing them and have knowledge to share.

Mr.Lusk
While I am open to suggestions and still trying learn some things about pond management I like your idea of stocking my pond. If I am right it would be 200 cnbg, 200 HSF and 3lbs of fatheads, then 5-8 LMB in the spring. Also would it be wise to stock my bream and fatheads if my pond is half full. It is about 13ft. at the deepest, I guess average water depth is 5-6ft.now.

250 GG is alot less than the 750 I was told to put from Ken's. It seems like 750 is alot for 1/4acre. Don't find many SMB in Louisiana so I probably wouldn't have stocked those.What is your website I would like to see those pics.
