Hello everybody, thanks for taking the time to read. I have read and searched through here but still don't have a solid answer so I am asking for my specific situation.

I have a new 3/4 acre pond max dept 9-10 ft. It was finished this July, full pool early Oct. I have stocked FHM and paper shell crayfish. It has plenty of tadpoles and frogs.

Structure I have a few large trees piled together and a couple hundred cinder blocks, rip rap on one bank.

My goal is large LMB with some BG for the kids to catch. I was told 1,000 BG & 35-50 LMB. I will feed but no aerators yet. I ordered via the GA DNR but had complications. This late in the season I have 2 options left: order GA Giant HBG or Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) from a different dealer. What would you recommend?


3/4 Acre South Georgia Pond, 1,500 BG/RES; LMB coming soon
