You know, there's room for another smaller pond at my place, maybe 2 or 3 acres. All this talk about different goals makes me wonder if someday I might construct another BOW with different goals than I have now.

Now I want some big bass and, as much as possible, big BG. So I try to harvest smaller LMB and supplement CNBG raised in my little forage pond when I can. TP to take some pressure off CNBG, a few HSB for fun, and I feed.

But what if I used the 2-3 acre "someday" place as a giant forage pond? Just put in some limited numbers of HSB, and let CNBG breed like crazy? Maybe I could seine out large numbers of CNBG and transplant to large BOW, helping with forage and maybe even discouraging bass spawning.

Kinda crazy, I know. Or I could focus on growing giant CNBG, or even giant F1 or F LMB. Gizzard shad wouldn't be so scary in just one pond. But it would be fun to do something different.
