Would like to get some advice here. I'll try to make this short.
4 acre pond makeover this year. Took out 252 12-14" stunted bass going from one every cast to not catching anything. But Im happy with that. Im introducing fresh Florida genetics in hopes to start this little lake over the best I can without draining. I added 1000 3-6" CNBG and 60-lbs Tilapia this year and fed almost everyday to try to strengthen my forage. Now I have literally tons of 6" BG and CNBG.
I am moving on to a 7 acre lake next year and am allocating most off my funds to getting it revamped. I key here is not to abandon the 4 acre lake. I will be watching it closely and keeping catch logs. Tagging the new Floridas and monitoring Wr of next year's harvest.
As stated above I will be using the majority of my funds next year on the 7 acre lake and don't think I can Feed and add 60-lbs of Tilapia to the 4 acre lake.
It amounts to about $500 either in Tilapia or Game Fish Chow (20 bags) for the 4 acre pond. No fertilization here btw untill the moss is totally under control.
Should I do both just less of both or no tilapia and just pour the feed to the CNBG. Feed seems the smart and most beneficial thing but thought I'd get some opinions.
Goal is to try to grow some good size bass.
