I'd love to get your opinion sometime on the management of my pond. I can't say that I'm the "expert duck" guy around here but I've been doing it for a few years anyway.

I've looked up the UC Davis guidelines and seen other similar recommendations. It seems as a general rule the stocking ratio is roughly 10 BG/RES per bass and any where from 100-200 bass per acre depending on the pond. It sounds like I may be high on the side of predator fish since I'm considering CC.

My pond is 1.25 acres and isn't very productive at the moment. I'm hoping that will all change soon. I also plan on feeding the fish and fertilizing as needed.
