Last time I checked Mississippi was in the South, and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks recommends the 500 bluegill/redear per acre combination. Thats how I stocked my pond back in the late fall of 2002. Everything is fine here, just need some rain, over a month without any rainfall here.

Anyways Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife also recommends this ratio:
