What you stock and when you stock greatly depends on what your goals are for your pond...

Most people have goals based around three ideas:

Trophy bass

Trophy sunfish

A balanced pond with nice sized bass and sunfish, but neither getting to trophy size.

When I say trophy, I mean 10 pound bass and 2 pound sunfish...

Let us know what you're goals are and we can give you better advice. Ewest, one of the moderators lives in the same state as you and probably can give your some very first hand advice. Being in the south, and with a pond almost 2 acres in size leaves you many options!
