What do you have in mind when you say big bluegills for the dinner table? As in how big do you want the fish to be, and how often do you intend to have fresh fillets for dinner?

A 1/4 acre pond will be hard pressed to provide very many meals of home grown Bluegill, while still maintaining a population of larger fish.....you will after all, probably be harvesting the largest specimens, which can lead to smaller and smaller fish. Especially without supplemental feeding.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
