Ok, I think Im gonna go all out and just stock Golden Shiners, CNBG, Chubs, and RES. I want the Golden shiners mainly but kindof feel im wasting a lot of water by just putting only one thing in it. And after a year if it doesn't turn out or i have problems harvesting the pond I'm already setup for putting bass in the following spring. Sounds realistic to me.
What I need is a good Stocking scenerio to start with?????
Im thinking maybe 100 3-6" CNBG for brooders, and 100 1-3" RES cause i can't get larger ones. Not sure on the Chubsuckers as far as how many to try, Todd says 2-4" on size, Im basically putting them in for the long haul. Hopefully in a year or so I can seine some larger ones out or have a YOY supply going if they make it to spawning size. Finally, I'll try to get the Shiners around the 4" size but not sure on how many.
Any suggestions? thats just my ballpark idea on the CNBG and RES also, that might need changing. I need help on stocking numbers especially with haveing all the different types in.
I will fertilize and will put a feeder in my projected trapping location later on. Not really sure about the feeder though as I don't know if I can find a feeder that could feed the tiny food the yoy CNBG and shiners would be eating anyways.
It would be nice if I could trap once or twice a year once this thing gets rolling and transfer a large mixed load of forage to my bigger lakes for the long run.
