I have a 3/4 acre to 1 acre pond (excatation pond) deep down to 24 ft steep sides. So far I have put 1000 gambusia, 500 BG with 25% being RES. 100 CC. They were put in the pond in May 07. This next sring of 08' I want to put some HSB, and LMB. And I was thinking of getting some Golden Shiners from Andersons (250,000 FRY) I would like to put the GS fry in April and follow up with the bass in May. I am thinking 50HSB and 25LMB. What do ya think?
I was thinking of just a BG, HSB only pond. But I don't think I could live without atleast a few LMB. When it is time to restock the HSB I am thinking of raising some in a cage untill they are big enough to release into the pond. Has any one else tried to raise them in a cage?
