Bottom line, to me, is stock fatheads and feed them for about 6 months. Then bluegills. They are prolific.

When to stock bass, cats, larger predators, etc? When the predator, generally bass, can go to sleep with its mouth open and wake up with a full belly, stock them.

Only bluegills can spawn enough to feed bass and only bass can keep up with bluegill spawns in Southern states.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
