Hey Jaymz,

Yes HSB will live in 3/4 acre. I have 25 in my 1 acre pond and they are doing good! The nice thing about HSB is they won't spawn on you so they are a nice add. Plus they should be able to handle that minnow pretty easy. HSB have issue trying to eat BG that are over 3 inches as their mouth is not as big as a LMB but for those minnows HSB should be fine! As far as how many??? Not sure about that. I put 25 in mine but I feed mine too. It's always best to start off conservative! Maybe 10 or 15 and see how it goes?

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
