Later this year I will be stocking 4-6" smallmouth bass in a new .25 acre pond. When the pond was finished in summer of 13' I bucket stocked 50 adult bluegill from another pond on the property with the intentions of letting them reproduce for a year with no predators. Upon researching stocking smallmouth bass I realized that I shouldn't have stocked the BG and would have been better off with GSH instead. This is going to be a kids fishing pond and I'm not concerned with trying to grow huge smallmouths. Is it possible to have a population of 2 pound smallies with BG as the forage fish? anyone experience a similar situation and if so what were the smb and bg populations like? Thanks


Ponds- 2 acre, 1 acre, .4 acre
