no expert here,but i will tell you what i've learned.one acre pond is not going to do much for you.it will be hard to raise bass in one acre pond after 2-3 years,they will eat there food source up.you can work at it and get by with things like watching the harvest of fish and help with feeding the bream.what i've done this time(2nd pond)is build a larger pond,this one is 4 1/2 acres and things seem to be alot better.i think you should be a little north of 2 acres if you want to do it right.good luck.
