Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Pond Dock Light (Green underwater light)

Good morning,
I may be way overthinking this one but.... I want a green dock light in my 3/4 acre pond. Question. The Green light is suppose to attract smaller bait fish, which is suppose to attract larger fish. Question would adding a green under water light make for "easy" picking of my smaller fish that I should be concerned about? Could the green light allow the the larger bass to "Clean out the Bait fish" over time, missing up the fish balance?

New Pond will be stocked in a couple weeks. Mosquitofish (800), bream (800), catfish (200). then bass next year.

Thanks in advance.

Be concerned? Good reason to be. I personally wouldn’t add the cats at this time. I prefer to give the minnows and sunfish a year to populate the pond. You can add the bass and cats simultaneously.

My answer re predator stocking. When a bass can go to sleep with its mouth open and wake up with a full belly, it’s time to stock. The minnows will disappear in about a year from predation. That’s ok. They are used to jump start the predators. The forage base is the bluegills and bass minnows that are spawned.
