We have a 1.5 acre pond in south LA. We removed all of the fish with rotenone and we are ready to re stock. Our goal is to have a nice bass pond. (no feeders, no aerators) the pond is long & winding with 2 islands & lots of shoreline with willow trees for shade. Should we add the forage fish now and add the LMB in spring? Should we put Threadfin shad? FHM? When should we stock all of this? I'm planning to add some fertilizer and help establish a better bloom in the meantime. Just wondering what would be good choices for fish and when I should add them.


I could be chasing anything from women to alligators but one thing's for sure, I'm after a trophy...
