Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Managing 4 acre lake

sounds like you have a good plan from what you said. Just make sure you consider the following which you may already know. When stocking fish in established bass heavy pond it is worth paying more for bigger fish. The redear may be difficult to find big enough to survive bass predation. Consider fertilizing or supplemental feeding to promote more food reaching bass mouths. Also if not feeding why take out large grass carp? They may not eat lots of weeds like when small but what are they hurting. Now if you start feeding then yes you may want to get rid of since they love fish food. Good luck!
