So after reading that thread, I am being convinced to go in the direction of BG to meet my goals. In that thread the fella was told that BG would be a more productive fish for supplying table fare, but he decided to go with his plan of SMB. It was asked how one would approach the best way for growing and harveting Bg, and alot of info like feeding, etc was given. I did not see mention of a harvesting strategy decided.
I'm thinking it would go like this in a very simplified description:
Stock pond with BG and LMB. Manage it like a BG trophy pond, allthough I'm not interested in that(see above). CC would add to the table fare and take up a different part of the ecosysytem. HSB could be added with a somewhat more expensive cost compared to CC, but they will eat feed and don't deter from the LMB & BG growth rates/food chain.
Questions:
1)What guess would be your recommended slot size be in harvesting BG to get the best food production?
2) What guess would be the size of LMB to keep in the pond to make this happen? Otherwise, harvest what sizes?
I fully understand that there alot of "it depends". I am asking in general, if thats possible. Just wondering if I am thinking this out in the proper direction.
