What forage was stocked and how much? I’m assuming Mississippi has a much longer growing season than we have in Kansas. We stocked 20# per acre of FHM in May ‘23, September 14th ‘23 we stocked our other forage along with F1’s April ‘24 I noticed a school of baby fish up in the shallow, threw out a little roostertail and caught 7 fish in 7 casts. Baby F1’s. September 18 ‘24 I caught a 14.75” 2.23# F1 This should give you a general timeline. Granted there are many factors that go in to growing fish, Water quality, enough of the right size forage , etc Unfortunately I didn’t even think about getting weights and measures until last summer and I have no idea how typical these results are. Your fish will vary in size and weight A LOT. Don’t be concerned when you catch an under performer Have fun, be patient, don’t over think it Photos are initial stocking, first fish and 1 year old
