Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Stocking

If I wanted trophy bass I would not stock over 100 per acre; some of the Southern guys will lower that number to 50.

Stocking more FHM this Fall might well be adding a cupful of water into the 5 gallon bucket of minnows those original 20 lbs of FHM stocked this Spring have spawned by then.

What size BG are you thinking of adding this Fall? That could be worthwhile if it adds a different year class to the original stockers and any 2007 YOY they spawn for you. Adding a separate set of BG genes from a different source would also be desirable IMO.

Personally (assuming I had the patience you are contemplating having), I would see how well the FHM and BG you've already stocked do at reproducing this Summer before deciding whether to put in the bass next Spring or Fall 2008.
