I plan to stock the bluegills in May. I don't see why I need to rush though since the 10" bass can't feed on 5 or 6" 'gills anyway. They would just compete with the young bass anyway. They would not provide forage until they spawn.
I agree with you guys about the initial bass though...I doubt they will grow too well. Their job is to spawn.
I will definitely let you guys know how things turn out.
One thing...if it turns out OK it will have cost me $0.00. One advantage over other stocking programs...lol.
I know a guy who studied under the professor who tested this stocking strategy. Maybe I'll email him.
