Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking 1 acre pond something is wrong

If and when you restock, and your goal is to grow larger bass vs. larger panfish, you need to stock Bass to Bluegill at the rate of 1:30. Bass need to eat a LOT of food to grow, and only stocking a couple hundred bluegill will not be anywhere close to being enough. If you want to grow larger bass in that "maybe one acre" pond, don't stock more than 75. I'd say don't stock more than 50, but I'm betting some get eaten by the LMB that are in there now.
