I�m thinking about digging a 20x20 forage pond 5 foot in deep end. I have all the equipment to build it and it will hold water (good clay ground). I want to raise some golden shiners in it for my pond and a few of my buddy�s ponds for a better bass forage food. What I am thinking right now I will have some kind of small aerator in the pond I�m also thinking that I can get a bloom to grow in a small plastic kids pool and dump it in the forage pond weekly. I plan on draining the pond yearly and cleaning it out. Is there any reason why my idea won�t work or anything that I haven�t thought of? How may shiners should I put in it before they spawn? I know I could just go buy some but I have spare time on my hands any help or idea�s would be great and help full. Thanks for your help.
