Looking for opinions Guys and Gals.
Brief History: 10 ac. Pond. Bass, Bluegill, Black Crappie and a few Green Sunfish. I've owned it for 6 years now. My relative weights on all species are pretty good up to this point.(Try to manage pretty intensely, But mostly luck up to this point).
Anyway question here is I'm wanting to establish some Red ear. I'd like to cage raise some but I just don't see that happening in the next couple of years or more even. I'll have access to some on Oct the 22nd locally. (Andry's fish truck.) I was thinking about getting between 700-1000 in hopes a few would survive predation. I guess I should mention I do have Bass up to 6lbs and Black Crappie to 2.5 lbs. I have descent cover but probably not the recommended 20%.
Would I be just completely wasting my time and money or is there a chance I could end up with a small percentage of survival. I know a large portion are going to be quick snacks. All arguments supporting either way welcomed. Thanks Rob.
