I have stocked the pond with 170 gills so far, I have a lot of BG minnows now and have took out a total of 240 bass so far! The bass r getting more fat then they were when I first fished the pond! Still got a lot of bass. I was wondering if maybe I should stop stocking the gills? I just don't want them to over take pond in time. The average size of gills stocked are 6in. I hope to start catching some perch to put in there soon. I have a lot of cattails is why I think the minnows survive. Got lots of bass minnow also. Should maybe I think of stocking something else to help with the LMB population?
