Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations As the pond matures...

My current forage base consists of large numbers of GSF and GSF/RES hybrids that are under the 5" mark, OK numbers of YP from small up to 13" or so and a few left over GSH that were initially stocked. My goal with the BG is to keep the bass fat, growing and happy while providing an opportunity for the kids to catch some table fare. With the YP likely going by the wayside and the LMB population growing, I need to provide a food source and a hook and bobber biting fish. Not overly concerned with real large BG, just big enough to eat. It seems that with a consistent feeding program, I should be able to accomplish decent BG size and big LMB.

So, if skipping stocking small BG so they don't get eaten by the few big LMB in the pond, should I go with as big as I can find and 30-50? Seems like I have ample food in the pond today, just don't want to hit a wall and the bass run out of food.
