Below is my stocking history. I feel I have stocked more than what should be required to have a healthy forage fish population. I may have slightly overstocked my bass but I don't mind addiding additional forage fish to keep up each year if necessary.
The problem with these dang ponds is that it is just so hard to know what is going on under the water. I don't know if I lost some of my bass last year during my oxygen problem or not. I have caught 5-6 of the Tigre Bass and 2 HSB this spring but that is all. I just have no way of gauging whether there are a lot more bass still alive and just too smart to hit my lure or if I only have a handfull of bass left after last year's oxygen issue......oh the stress of a pond!!!!
I am going to stock some Tilapia this weekend and probably some additional CNBG or Hybrid Perch.
Unless you have had a die off or are harvesting hard are you at or above maximum carrying capacity here? I am a bit confused how that pond holds all of those fish.
