Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations catching my own adult lm bass??

I feel the key to stocking adult bass is having a well developed bluegill redear population first. So, yes stock these and then wait until you see several offspring of these stocked then you would be ok to stock the bass. I would recommend stocking larger bluegill bigger than 4 inches since you have noticed crappie. If you have seen a few I'm sure more are there. ALso you mentioned catfish. I would only suggest channel cats and at a low number if you want to manage for bass. ALso do not stock more than 25 bass/acre. This will help the bass growth. THis is a general answer but hope it helps shed some light. Good luck!
