What advantage would stocking 5 or 6" bluegill with 10" bass provide? They are too big for bass to forage on. Should bass forage be 1/3 or less of their length? The 'gills won't spawn until summer so I have to be sure they are in before the spawn. I believe if they were there now, they would only compete with the adult bass an their offspring.
I would think that these bluegill would be large enough to survive predation by the bass and should spawn soon to provide forage for the bass.
