Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Forage fish: sunfish vs redear sunfish?

Hi, I'm probably 60 mi. north of the Michigan/OH border in a suburb of Detroit about halfway to Lansing. The pond is 8-9 feet deep.

I'm going to do all I can to get fatheads to spawn and reproduce, but as the bass get bigger they eat a lot more so I'm thinking of alternatives. The fishery I found sells HBG, regular bluegills or maybe they are green sunfish, and redears. I've not found any pumpkinseed fisheries (suggestions?) in SE michigan...yet. Thanks for the tips.
