Is Disaster due to Happen - 08/18/15 11:41 AM
MY pond is 3/8 of an acre in size it is 2.5 years old. I stocked it with Overton's CNBG 300, RES 100, FHM 10LB 2 years ago. Yesterday decided to use a cast net and see what was in the pond. We have been catching some 5 to 9 inch CBNG with a RES around 6 to 7 inches. On the first cast I had some minnows there were 6 plus inches long and 1.5 inches wide. Then I caught some GSF a couple around 4 to 5 inches then a couple 2 to 4 inches. With the heavy rains in East Texas this year I assoume that the unwanted fish came from a couple of ponds that are above mine. I have not put any preditor fish in was wanting to give the CNBG and FHM a good start. Plans are to go down to Overton's this winter and get some HSB for control. My goal was to raise only Overton CNBG now with the GSF will they cross with the CNBG and will it mean Disaster for my goal of Trophy CNBG
