Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait FHM, GSH Lifecycle Confusion

I like your idea of cropping the minnows as they grow which I'm going to try to do.

The pond is not easily drainable but I accepted the fact when I built it that someday it's going to need to be drained and started over. Being that I have screened pipes between the main pond and it, it's only a matter of time until some bass or BG fry makes it into the baitpond introducing predators into the mix and ruining the setup.
