Howdy neighbor! At 3-16ac it'll be far more cost effective and efficient to hire Arms (Dublin), Crystal Farms (Breckenridge) or someone closer to initially stock your pond. You only get 1 shot to stock it right and send it on a successful path.
Follow the advice given now and you won't regret it. You'll never bucket stock the numbers needed.
Depends on your goals and budget though.
Hello yourself neighbor!
I�m probably going to get my fatheads and redears from Crystal Farms. I noticed they�ve moved locations In Breckinridge in the last month or so. I stocked 200+ 3-5� bluegill today in the tank. I have a tank here at the house in Graham that�s overpopulated with BG. I�m going to haul a couple hundred to the tank orth of Abilene every week when I�m making my sales calls. They�re easy to catch in a perch trap I built. I don�t want to get too much invested in the new tank until the property is back in farming. It�s amazing how the CRP completely stopped the runoff. I figure to stock at least a thousand bluegill in the next few weeks, along with 10 pounds of fatheads and let them spawn this summer. I�m not sure when I�ll add bass. I�m not sure whether to stock fingerling bass this summer or wait a year and stock the more expensive 4-6� bass. This is a decision I�d like some help with. This tank was one hell of a nice fishery 25 years ago and I can�t wait to get it going again.
