agree like to see data. My first thought however is what are your goals? This to me is the most important question to give you solid answers.

If wanting big bass the proposal is fine if budget allows (but best after reachign bass harvest goals). My advice would be based on low Wr bass and lack of 4-5 inch bluegill.

1. harvest bass at a hgih rate
2. lime pond asap- begin fertilization
3. if bass numbers are low stock threadfin shad
4. stock 4-5 inch bluegill at a rate of 250-1000/acre. Whatever budget allows- more the merrier.
It is possible to growout the bluegill and save some money. Most of my cllietns would not have the time to do this. If you think it is a project you might enjoy doable but also be aware many scenarios can presnt themselves where you lose all the little 1-2 inch bluegill before reaching your goals of growth.

We do not get down that way too often but Josh will be not too far away in Troy, AL tommorrow on fish delivery of bluegill.
