A couple of thoughts about the fish you want. I've never heard of YP in Texas(assuming you mean yellow perch).

Second is the size of the pond for a BG/LMB mix. You have approximately 1/2 acre if I assume 300 ft by 70 ft. That's tough to manage for bass. It can be done but takes an awful lot of work culling. Bass can overspawn and over forage on the BG. Before long you have a bass heavy pond with a lot of hard to catch runts and some big bluegills.

You might consider Hybrid Bluegills and Hybrid Stripers with a feeder. I think you would be pleased.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
