Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations stunted sunfish

Salvador Dali once asked me to comment on melted clocks ... I was wise enough :rolleyes: to beg off (that time).


30 half pounders sounds nice; enough for the job, not a humongous number after the GSF numbers are reduced. A good size too, that should be able to handle small GSF now and the slightly larger ones that may likely be in place when they have more food per GSF, as the bass grow. Just the kind of recommendation you'd expect from a Picasso or a Dali.

Based on Lusk's Turkey Farm runoff GSF infested pond story, I'd personally figure for a year of LMB predation before stocking BG & RES. We don't want the bass getting distracted from the Greenies. I'd also monitor (with extreme prejudice) GSF numbers and size during the year via angling, seining, and/or traps. But if I had a local source of BG (& RES) large enough to escape the LMB I would think about putting them in this Fall.
