Pat, I read this thread you brought up and I thought read about growth rates and how some saw really good growth rates when the pond was stocked on a regular basis using FHM's. I got the impression of monthly stocking fhm's or as needed when ever fhms were low in numbers. Also recall pond fertilization, phantom midges and grass shrimp along with the fhm's for good growth of 14" in one year. I just added 30 lbs of FHMs in early June this year to take some of the pressure off the cnbg fry. As close as you are to Overton's it might be worth a monthly trip over there. Just let your wife know you will be eating more lmb each month for the next 12 months and plan on spending some grocery money on feeding the crappie.
