Swimming Pond - 04/30/21 01:24 PM
Hello,
We've had our 1/3 acre pond for about 2 years now. It was stocked with fatheads and structure, they seem to have taken over well.
I was looking into stocking the following:
200 Redear Sunfish
50 Yellow Perch
12 Hybrid Striped Bass
Feed: Bug killer light and pellet feed
My dealer also has a new type of Sunfish called a Specklebelly, they are said to take easily to food. I was thinking about maybe 25 of these?
Fishing: We'd like to take a few meals a year from the pond. Unsure how much I need to keep the Perch from overpopulating.
I'd love to hear suggestions or opinions.
