What size were the CNBG when stocked ? Does the pond have a plankton bloom (green tinted water)? Are you feeding pellets. What are your goals for the pond?

SECOND GOALS QUESTION. iF FEEDING WHAT ARE YOU SEEING NOW, MOSTLY 4-5 INCH CNBG OR ALL SIZES? DANG CAPS LOCK
If you want good bass I suggest fingerligns at a rate of 50-75/acre. You will not have too mnay bass the first year but growth will be great with that stocking over a year ago. Calvin I can get you a hatchery # that will ship them to you. If larger bass another situation. BTW we got the crawfish last week, 2400 lbs, thanks for your advice.

I would go with 25 6 inch LMB. At your location any of the 3 types (Fla , F-1s or Northerns) will work and a mix of them might work well.
