Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Stocking 2” Bass In New Tank

Two years ago I stocked my now 8 acre tank with 1000 bluegill and 10 pounds of fatheads, 200 of the bluegill were 6”+, they are now giant. I have fed them the whole time. I may have 100K bluegill in this tank now. I just put in 300 2” black bass. Will enough make it to stock the tank or should I buy some 8-10” bass to cover my bet? Had a lot of rosy red fatheads before the freeze. I’m not seeing any now. Should I also add gold shiners now? Need some help from the experts.

I’m sure some will survive ….

Bobbss, in my neighborhood pond, the YOY LMB are about 3-4", and they look plump. I even saw one take a small feed pellet.

Now, being in W. PA., we may have had a later spawn than Texas.
