Greetings. As I mentioned in a prior thread, our pond build is on hold till the ground (west TN) dries up a bit. What do they say about idle time? And a rookie pond manager who finds new ideas daily. Lol. I have a few stocking questions/possibilities if we ever build the pond:
The facts: 1. 3/4ac pond 6ft avg depth (we're hoping).
2. Want to focus on large bass.
His wild ideas: 1. Should I add gold shiners as well as fatheads?
2. Will have BG as main forage.
3. How much time (1 season, 2, etc.) should I give to introducing forage before adding LMB?
4. As for the introduced LMB. Should I get an F1 hybrid? They're a lot more expensive, but I'm willing to pay.
5. What about the Maxx hybrids some offer?
6. How many LMB minnows should I stock? The Hybrids come in units of either 25 or 50 (at my expected stocking needs).
7. Is it worth feeding the BG in a pond this size?
OK, I'll restrain myself here.
Thanks,
Brian
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY FISH RAISING YEAR!!!!
