Well its getting that time of year again... stocking fish.
I'm trying to decide what to do with a .5 acre pond I have. I drained it in January to do a complete fish kill then refilled it. Its around 12ft deep and has fairly steep banks hence it is a lot of deep water. Im looking at making it a forage pond however the depth is probably gonna make it a real hassle to harvest my forage fish out to transport. Anyone have any ideas on what I could do? and... How to go about doing it? I don't really want to drain the pond again to harvest fish, its really far from water to refill it and not very easy at all.
I'd be looking at forage such as golden shiners, or CNBG for example.
Its either make a forage pond if at all possible or just stock it up and turn it into a Florida Bass growout pond and just tranfer floridas out yearly. I already have ponds dedicated to this though.
Also, i don't really need it for recreational purposes like a catfish, HSB, or big bluegill pond. I just want to use it to help the larges lakes that I have that could use a forage boost or genetic upgrades.
Any ideas?
