I'm still trying to come up with my management stradegy as to what size fish to keep and when to start. I stocked everything from yoy to a few 7 inch sunfish but I would say the vast majority of sunfish were 4-6 inches when stocked starting at the end of March. I would put then muber at 200 adult sunfish. BG have spawned and there are a ton of fry. I also stocked 9 9-11 inch bass that have spawned. I was reading Lusk's book and it said not to keep more than 25lbs of bass per acre per year. My pond is about 1/4 acre full so that would be 6lbs for me. If I am managing for big sunfish then my stocker bass will most likely need to be removed next year or whenever they start hitting 15inches. If I was to take out all 9 at 1.5 lb average then I'd be removing to many bass right? What about sunfish? Should I start keeping them? Gambusia have also spawned like crazy and there is a ton of forage.
