Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Stocking sizes and shellcrackers

Since you didn't stock any Fathead Minnows, I would put in at least 10 pounds asap. They will help take pressure off of your Bluegills.

How big will the bass be this Fall? It all depends on how much they eat. They could be anywhere from 6"-8" to two pounds.

Best thing would be catch a few a couple of weeks before you stock fish this Fall to determine what size to stock.

If your goal is to grow larger LMB, I would stock at least 20 BG per LMB. Every day they miss a meal is a days growth lost.
