Thanks for the link. Very good photos. When do RES spawn in my area and do they spawn multiple times a year? My place is in Alvord not too far from Dallas/Fort Worth.
I was down there in the Sulphur Springs area and the RES were spawning in late March/early April. They spawn at the same time as BG so. As for multiple or single spawns, the general concensus is that they spawn once a year. But, in my pond, I have seen them Spawning with the first 2 spawns that the BG have, usually a month apart, near the full moon. Look for them to spawn when water temps approach the mid 70's right around the full moon.
Now, to further this post even though I'm going off my orginal subject (but staying within the Forum), I would like to get some pure Florida bass for my pond. The existing LMB population is fairly establish with bass between half a pound to 4 pounds. I would really like to catch some 10 pounders down the road but I'm afraid that the existing genetics just won't get there.
How many should I add? And I assume that I am going to have to pay the big bucks for 12" + since I have an existing population? And would it make that big of diffeence in long term genetics?
I'd look at the Pond Boss main page, go to the resources guide and look up the fisheries consulting service in your area. I think Overtons, Texoma or Tyler would be able to help. As for stocking numbers, I don't know. I think that would depend on how many LMB/ac you have in the BOW now.
