Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations restoration-restocking of strip pit

I looked at it from a satellite. His 20 acre guesstimate is pretty close when you consider all the fingers of the strips.

There is a LOT of shoreline cover in the form of dead trees, but I don't know how much shallow cover there is for YOY fish.

Bow fishing the carp as much as possible, removing as many bass as you can and possibly adding BG at a later date is what I can recommend from here.

I would get a water test done to test the basics, alkalinity, pH and hardness.

If Triploid Grass Carp were stocked in 2000, then they are approaching the end of their life, so maybe the weeds might start showing back up as they die off. But I'd get the water tested, and if the alkalinity is low, talk to the other owners to see about adding agricultural lime, then maybe some fertilizer to get a bloom going. Before adding fertilizer, get the water test done to see where you stand.
