You do want to stay around hear and learn, as I had not found this site before stocking mine and boy did I stock it (over stock that is), but the people selling me the fish thought a $1 was more important I guess.

Now do not get me wrong, it is a great place for me to take my girls if I want some action, but the problem is they like to keep everything and it has taken 2 years to get anything of size, and I think that we could have had some in as little as 1 year had I not stocked so many fish.

I do however have a cheap hanging feeder so that helps ths GSF, BG, HBG, & CC grow faster to eat. I am now taking all catfish I can catch since I stocked 100 of them in my pond. I think I have taken between 15-20 out so far, does not seem like much, but I think there should have only been about 5-10 of them stocked since my pond is only .25-.50 acre.

So decide what you like to do with the pond and fish and keep us posted.
