Hey guys,
this spring I'm gonna do some stocking on my 5 acre pond, right now it has some awesome sized bluegill, decent bass, and supposed channel cats but I've fished many times for them and have never got a bite. Also I will be adding a feeder aswell. I like pan fishing the most and I like to eat what I catch (except the monster bg) so I would like to add another breed of panfish. The bass I have in the pond are good sized but not huge there has been a few mounters taken around 8lbs but most are in the 2-4 lb range. I live in illinois about 50 miles west of st. Louis and the lake does get well frozen over. What's u guys thoughts I thought about some hybrid panfish but I heard they don't reproduce aswell as regulars. I'm open to all opinions and just want to be able to catch plenty of fish and not have to worry about hurting the population. I might do a few bass aswell because the numbers seem low and I don't want my panfish getting stunted.
Thanks always
bluegiller
