Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain stocking new pond

smhog - One of your several main concerns for transporting these 11"-13" bass is to provide an adequate amount of forage items for each bass. Each of those small adult bass will need to consume 7 to 10 pounds of forage fish if you expect them to gain a pound in the next year. If they only get 3-5 lbs each weight gain will not occur. Less than 3 lbs of forage for each per year the bass will probably lose a little weight by years end.
