Agree with Esshup. Adding forage to an existing predator base is an expensive waste of $. They will be immediately eaten. As he says, concentrate on first reducing the predator base. Bass need prey that is 1/4 to 1/3 their size. It’s a case of protein received vs energy expended.

Then come back with bluegills. Only bluegills can spawn enough to feed bass. And only bass can handle the bluegill spawns.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
