Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait What size forage pond would u build

I have a 1/10 acre forage pond that connects directly with my main BOW. Thus, I can drain the water & fish by opening the sluice gate, which is a lot easier than dragging a seine!

So far I've only raised CNBG caught from my main BOW. They reproduce well, and if fed appropriately can handle even fairly hot water. I don't have an aeration system, so am limited in what I can do somewhat. I just drain the forage pond, looks like a giant water jet at first. Should be doing this soon after electroharvest on Tuesday.

My forage pond fills up gradually by natural runoff. Stays pretty dry in summer, then fills in winter. I've thought about pumping in water from main BOW, but it takes about 500,000 gallons.
