Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Evaluating New Pond and New Fish

First up....Ima NERD through and through on Bass and many other things!

I'm going to hazard my guess:

April 1 2025 @ 12.5" and 1.4lbs RW of 139%. That's 4-1/2 months (202 days) from my longest recorded fish to grow at .22mm per day. There is still some growing season left this year with the 2024 Fall Forage BoNaNzA still in effect.

Oct 19 2025 @ 16.5" and 3.25lbs RW of 130%. That's 4-1/2 months (200) days at .5mm per day.

Forage should be in full swing for 2025 - Hopeful Cray Spawn, 1st YP Spawn, BG, RES, GSH, GAMs, and remaining FHM.

Will have to figure out TP stocking but they are going in as well again next year. lb/acre still dependent on if LMB spawn which I'm assuming they will. TP would go in at a rate of 23lbs or just over 15lbs per acre if the LMB spawn.

Will be trapping crays to stock as bonus forage again next spring - fall as the water temps warm up.

I hope to blow both of those numbers out too and that they are on the conservative side.
