 Re: Bass and Bluegill pond up in Smoke

Forget about the fatheads. They are mostly for jump starting a new pond and get wiped out quickly. Adding more to an established pond is futile.
This stuff is all about predator/prey balance. That means bluegills and bass or catfish. Or bass and catfish. Only bluegills can spawn enough to feed bass and only bass can keep up with bluegills booming spawns. Don’t worry about bluegills over spawning. Somewhere around 90 to 95% of the eggs laid will never live to spawn. That’s MamaNature at work.
I’ve said this before. The best cattleman is a grass farmer and the best bass raiser pays a lot of attention to the bluegill forage base.
