I have a five acre pond max depth of 15 feet lots of stone and gravel. I have just stocked 500 redbreast sunfish and 200 redear sunfish. The forage is fathead minnows and crayfish. Next summer I am adding 125 Smallmouth. I read that smallmouth only eat about 30% fish and most of that is YP even if there is BG and other sunfish in the pond. How many should I add. Goals are smallmouth and a few pan fish harvests.


3 ponds mountains of NC. One 5 acre and two 1/4 acre ponds. SMB Redbreast sunfish LMB YP CC brook trout WE and warmouth perch
