I have a small pond in my back yard on its 4th summer. I transferred about 20 adult bluegill from another pond four years ago, so there are a lot of smaller BG of various sizes.
I love to eat bluegill, so I want to do everything I can do to help them grow big and as fast as possible. Most of the posting I have read is using BG as food for bass, but I want to raise them to eat myself (I'm the predator).
I'm in SW Michigan. I pellet feed and just started to aerate. I have a good amount of plants and bullfrogs (lots of tadpoles right now). No other fish are in the pond. From what I read, I assume some Flathead minnows would be good to add. Anything else I should be doing? Other than the pellets, what do BG eat?
Sorry for not know much. I'm a newbie but learning.
