Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization Healthy Water

I'm following the discussion with considerable interest. Have 3 TH feeders on 7 acre pond, plus 1 feeder on 1/6 acre forage pond. Done well for my bluegill and HSB, but had trouble growing trophy bass. Lake record is 7lb, and that includes electroharvesting twice a year.

Would I do better putting more feeders on the pond, or should I increase feed intervals with what I have? I stock TSH and TP annually, and RBT in winter when they are available. Forage pond raises coppernose BG, which I stock in main lake in fall when rainfall permits. I have pure Fla LMB, F1, and NLMB.

Generally feed BG chow, such as Optimal or Aquamax MVP. Feeders tend to choke on larger LMB pellets.

Everything seems to grow pretty well except for trophy LMB. Maybe I'll need to accept that, I mean, 7lb isn't bad!
